I don't remember the exact paper I read, but e.g. on Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_recognition - but googling for "reading by shapes" etc. turns out a lot of various articles.
But I see it myself - urlHandler - I immediately see Handler, but have to read into it letter by letter to see the "url". When it's URLHandler, I see immediately both. If you see it in urlHandler, you might be used to it - you of course can learn new words/word combinations. > On May 19, 2016, at 7:31 PM, Brandon Knope via swift-evolution > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Do you have a source for this?
