Jumbled words or jumbled brain?

I don’t expect to understand everything, I am perfectly fine with the fact that some things just fly over my head.

Today I read something and my eyes got bigger and bigger, because I really have absolutely no explanation, why I can read and understand something that seem to make no sense at all.

This really puzzled me!

There you go:

  3. Pretty bloomin’ amazin’, eh? That’s also the reason why it’s hard to proof-read anything adequately! We see a mistake, our brain fixes it automatically. We read right over the top of them most of the time.

  4. loved this and read it through! Working with people with Aphasia and using computer programs to unscramble words was one of the exercises we used to do. I have become much better at doing the Jumble in the newspaper as a result!

  5. Isn’t that cool. According to research at Cambridge U, it doesn’t matter if the words are in the correct order as long as the first and last letter are correct. Our amazing brains don’t read each letter, but the word as a whole, so they reorganize the letters for us. This is why it’s so hard to catch typos!!! So amazing 😀

  9. I had no problem to read it but I also have a mixture in my brain and I suppose that anyone that can understand the numerous Swiss German dialects and speak the language all day would probably be able to understand anything. I studied Russian for 12 years, did a year Arabic, although not much has remained and speak French and Italian as well as even hochdeutsch but everything a mixture. I dream in Swiss German and english being a Londoner (cockney actually).

  12. I’ve read about this and it is extremely interesting how we can get past the jumbled letters. It’s the miracle of how our brains function, although I wish I was as good at remembering names as I am reading mixed-up words.

  13. I’ve seen this before, and it is fascinating. My mom told me that I learned to read at a very early age — three I think. She also told me that at a young age (probably not three) I could read from her newspaper as she read it, sitting opposite from her at the table so the text to me was upside down, and backwards. I can’t remember a time when I couldn’t read, so I’ve never questioned her. The mind is a mysterious thing indeed.
