Subject: [tips] mangled English poster
In San Francisco at APA in August, I saw a poster which contain a passage of
text in which virtually every words was badly misspelled, yet because we
recognize words by shape more than internal letters, it was perfectly readable.
I have seen it other places before, and though I might be able to find a copy
somewhere on the internet, but have failed thus far.
Does anyone else out there know what I'm talking about, and know where I
might find a copy on-line?
Thanks,
Chris
