So do all those students who spent years in class learning how to spell now get refunds?
I suppose that word order isn't too important as long as they were words you were very familiar with, and that you had lots of other words in the same sentence so you could get some of the meaning through context. And I now have a large spider crawling up my leg, so please excuse me while I absent myself abruptly from the computer.

Mister Arachnid has now gone on his merry way, so I can continue with what I was saying. If I can remember what it was that I was going to say. Which looks rather doubtful. So I'll just end my little missive here before I start babbling too inanely. Have a nice day.

After reading it a few times, I am now getting confused reading regular spelling.

I once saw this on Snopes somewhere, but I can't find it again...oh well.
Order proper is sentences Accipiter, word very of important for English and comprehension!
Bonus points if you can decipher.
I so Latin, can around hear however, willy-nilly with in word mess you order, or.
I'll have find a pic of an old granny with cloth up to her chin.

That is an odd avatar that Winhorna has... It looks like the panty-ed heinie cheeks are rotating, rather than shifting side to side, suggesting one should sit on it and rotate, and the apron tie corners look like fangs, suggesting one should bite it. What IS she trying to say?

Sorry,
But I've said it on another thread somewhere
if you can't be bothered to write intelligably I'm not going to bother to try and decipher it.
I can understand the odd typo, that would be acceptible, hell I make enough myself. But this is just ridiculous
Although it's true that letter order isn't absolute to our understanding a word because of the amazing deciphering abilities of our brains, letter order is important in portraying an image of yourself. Do you care enough to use your language properly? Are you somewhat educated or just skipping by on what's "understandable?" Do you care any at all about the image you portray of yourself? Or are you just lazy? The occasional typo is acceptable... but to make a way of life of it? And then to tell us that just because the brain CAN decipher it, that we should, and that we should accept your drivel the way it is? Excuses, excuses...
Funny, I don't remember putting any "specific" names into my post. Could your automatic assumption that it was directed at you specifically, or perhaps directed at only you, be an admittance of guilt? And "IF" it was directed at you specifically Steve, I wouldn't be telling you anything new. In fact, it's the SAME thing I've been telling you since you got here... That you're a moderator now, you have image to portray, it's time to grow-up! So many times, when reading your posts' on here, I find myself thinking... "If I didn't know better, I'd think that was my 14-year old son making those comments."
Plus ya know, most of the time I'm just rambling to hear myself ramble... it's good practice.

Sometimes talking to myself is the only way I can guarentee intelligent conversation.
