I hate you for this

Interesting and related: Noam Chomsky, in his work as linguist, has stated that what reaches the ear (or the eye in this case) is not what reaches the mind. What this means is that we experience language as if it was linearly ordered, when at the cognitive level (in the mind) language is actually hierarchically organized. This means that the underlying structure of language has to interface with the sensory-motoe systems in order to transform the hierarchical structure into a linear one. This is why we sometimes also struggle putting our thoughts into words, because in that interface there is a change in structure that doesn't always preserve the 'original' (hierarchical) structure
-
Neat! That reminds me of this thing I saw years ago. I wonder if the underlying phenomenon is the same.
-
I can read it, but I certainly see that most words are not written correctly.
-
-
I would say unrelated, but very interesting.
-
-
Jokes on you, even if this was writen normaly I would've trouble readng it.
-
I read this quickly and didn't even realize there were any mistakes until I looked at the comments...
I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. lol
-
im dyslexic but i read it correctly the first time what
-
Same, but then I realized there was a bamboozle and read it wrong 6 times after that. -_-
-
I've seen reports that slowing down the rate that someone with dyslexia reads by adding some difficulty to recognising the words and likewise increasing how much they have to focus on seeing the words actually helps with compression. I suspect this works in a similar way. It took me a few goes to work out how out of order it wss, and I'm not dyslexic.

way, way more than 5 seconds here
-
Idk, I read it just fine....
Maybe I have dyslexia 🤔
-
I read it correctly and recognized it was wrong immediately.
-
-
That took me too long.
-
Pffft, joke's on you, I read that in less than 1 second
-
I feel like I was hit with the orb of confusion
-
My ability to read does not get affected by others writing stuff wrong.
-
The fact that is English can be in written any order be and still completely ledgible
-
English is actually more structured and rigid language compared to, say, Slavic languages. It is just any language has redundancy, kind of error correction code, so that you can still recognize the meaning even from broken sentences and words.
-
a man sees a dog
a dog sees a man
Order matters. In languages with more redundancy that would work:
Ein Mann sieht einen Hund
subject verb object
Einen Hund sieht ein Mann
object verb subject
But even there it breaks if you switch the articles, though there are languages with a lot higher redundancy than German. The less analytic a language is the better that works. Analytic has less forms, but requires a more rigid structure.
…
The still English can order any legible fact and be completely written in that is be
English fact order written completely still is be that be in and any can The legible

MF I read that like 5 times trying to comprehend
-
By chance I clicked on the link 3 times, and only third time I have noticed the mixup.
-
Isn’t being able to read it the problem? Like, we read it how it was written, so you showed us we can read by writing something incorrectly.
-
I’m semi dyslexic, this is what normal feels like all the time.
-
Ooooh I've been HAD. You got me. This meme stole my ability to read for 5 entire excruciating seconds. Good one.

Fool of a Took.

Oh you
