Ha! It never ceases to amaze me how the brain just breezes through that mess of letters.
LOL, i lvoe it! :-D
I was amazed by that - and how fast I could read it.
But would we still be able to read and make sense of what you'd written if the words contained the wrong letters? Perhaps the important thing is the RIGHT letters, whatever the order ...
Oh dear - spelling really is my thing, I have to admit!
I didn't at first recognize that I was reading something amiss...I don't know if I should be self-impressed or a bit ashamed of my lack of observation. OY.
