Post #188,211 by drewk 12/26/04 8:41:58 PM Reply	Amazing how you see what you expect Remember that study that showed you can mix up all the letters except the first and last and it's still readable? I wonder how much you can mess up -- order, incorrect letters, incorrect but similar words, not-quite-real words -- and still have it readable. You know, like reading boxlish or ashtonese. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats]. [link\|http://DocHope.com\|http://DocHope.com]

Post #188,221 by CRConrad 12/27/04 2:01:16 AM Reply	Heh - yeah, amazing. For me, just like Roomy, B & A are... ...both borderline readable; mostly, (again, just like the BRoom,) I hope for context to resolve what my Mad Lingo Skillz can't. And the rest, I just let wash over me like a soothing warm flood of incomprehensible sussurations. [link\|mailto:MyUserId@MyISP.CountryCode\|Christian R.

Your 'depression' may be the closest you ever come to recognizing truth: you have no 'inferiority complex', you are inferior - and something inside you recognizes this. - [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=71575\|Ashton Brown]
