Dear Tipsters,

Remember this discussion?

You might be interested in a paper published in Psychological Science that 
measured reading speed and eye movement for original and jumbled text. The 
conclusion? - You can read the jumbled sentence and make sense of it, but there 
is a cost in terms of speed and in terms of eye movements.

By the way, the compared 3 kinds of jumbling with the original sentence.

Rayner, K. et al. (2006). Raeding Wrods With Jubmled Lettres. Psychological 
Science, 17, 3, 192-193. 

Sincerely,

Stuart
