I love the summer, Halloween, animals, chocolate and music. That is the basis of knowing me. I also like to write and travel a little.
An old teacher of mine from high school showed the class something interesting once. We did interesting stuff all the time in that class, television studio production, but this really had nothing to do with it. I also got the same thing in an e-mail once too.
It is a paragraph that is filled with words that are spelled wrong on purpose, but it is still completely readable. It says that if the first and last letters are correct, we can still read it, because our brains don't look at individual letters but whole words.
I wondered if people could read things backward too. I can, but I can write backwards too. Something I learned
to do in study hall in high school when I was bored. Just about every day I had a study hall.
So here it is, how smart are you? Here are two paragraphs that I think you should be able to read. Probably only because I can read them, but then again, I made them. Feel free to let me know what you think.
