The reason you're able to read a sentence even when the majority of the
letters are jumbled is due to the fact that the meanings of words in
sentences is not accumulative. They work within a context, and meaning is
actually suspended until we get to the end of a phrase or sentence. This is
how we cope with a language that contains homographs, homonyms and
homophones. Furthermore, for this to work there can be no surprises, if a
word is unexpected it will be alomost indecipherable.
Who would of thought my area of study would be relevant here.
