I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cloud aulcaclty uesdnatnrd waht i wsa rdanieg.
The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in teh rghit pclae.

AAASAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's readable, but totally does my head in doing so.
Some people are autistic about numbers, for me, it's language. And that diabolical mishmash is almost a lethal weapon for minds like mine.

I can read this just as fluently as normal.

The brain has an incredible ability to fill in gaps based on expectation.

Another example:
Our eyes have a blind spot where the retina attaches to the back of the eye. This is normally negated by having two eyes. Cover one eye, and your brain will automatically fill in the blank space to match the rest of the picture.

1. Cover your LEFT eye.

2. Focus on the cross using your right eye and slowly move closer to the screen.

In the top example, the black dot on the right will disappear at a certain distance.

But more importantly in the bottom example, not only will the rat disappear as it enters the blind spot, but rather than show nothing, your brain will complete the vertical line pattern where the rat is. It completely fabricates something subconsciously and presents it to you as an actual image.

Our brains constantly make adjustments and fill in the gaps, subconsciously.

Yes Tortoise I found that easy to read until I came to an abbreviation I use everyday in my work.
Rset is abbreviation for Ramset nail. It definetly interupted my flow for a moment and I was suddenly in another world and trying to decipher another set of survey notes.
SAH is spot on with accommodation of the brain. It's quite amazing.
When I had several retinal operations one eye was way out of wack with the other but with training things snapped together after a while. It was fascinating actually to observe.

Back to the trials I find those easy compared to cryptic clues which my addled brain just can't grasp.
