Descrambled:

> Not always. I keep seeing this, and frequently find myself needing to discourage (or at least challenge) the position. For small words it can work, but I find this is inherently difficult (and draining, as well as frustrating!) to read, and doesn't scale to let you read in a coherent fashion over a reasonable period with multi-syllabic words.

Imagine a computer science or psychology text displayed or organized this way. It would be unintelligible, or at the very best a suboptimal method of transferring large quantities of information accurately.

But if you're going to mess up words and claim readability, why not take out spaces and see how you might fare?

Or scramble words in sentences without spaces, too?

Quite readable. Cant' vouch for spelling mistakes, or lack thereof :)




You've given me quite a chuckle - I'm glad someone took the time, given how long I put into it :)
