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.

[-] basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 7 months ago

I can read it, but I certainly see that most words are not written correctly.

[-] LouNeko@lemmy.world 22 points 7 months ago

Jokes on you, even if this was writen normaly I would've trouble readng it.

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 18 points 7 months ago

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

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Same, but then I realized there was a bamboozle and read it wrong 6 times after that. -_-

[-] notabot@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

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

[-] nexussapphire@lemm.ee 12 points 7 months ago

Idk, I read it just fine....

Maybe I have dyslexia 🤔

[-] HEXN3T 12 points 7 months ago

The fact that is English can be in written any order be and still completely ledgible

[-] basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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

[-] Macropolis@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

That took me too long.

[-] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

I feel like I was hit with the orb of confusion

[-] kat_angstrom@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

Pffft, joke's on you, I read that in less than 1 second

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

Joke's on you, I can't read English anyway.

My printer also can write, but not read English.

[-] sukhmel@programming.dev 3 points 7 months ago

I see, OP is a printer, makes sense

[-] basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 7 months ago

My ability to read does not get affected by others writing stuff wrong.

[-] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

MF I read that like 5 times trying to comprehend

[-] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 months ago

I’m semi dyslexic, this is what normal feels like all the time.

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago

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.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Fool of a Took.
