Heh that's pretty good. Yeah, the brain cuts corners with rough pattern recognition, the first and last letters of a word being the primary anchor for that I guess. Besides, the essential context is provided mostly by 1-3 letter words.

How...interesting.

But what if you've never come across the word before; say something like, oh, "Byzantium"? Would your mind recognize it if it were spelled, "Cntasnolniptoe"?

I would wager that if you have not encountered the word before you would have a tough time reading it. Of course, I'm no eprxet.

Isn't this one of those things that every typographer and graphic designer has known forever? Word shape is the basis of many typographic decisions- for example, why typefaces with small differences between caps and lowercase heights are easier to read.
