rubberduck Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 This is a simple but proven effective test to easy check if your girlfriend is able to think outside the box, or not. Or they can read the simple word below, or they can't and get confused.* *in that case fun guaranteed! I showed this to several people and always surprising how many don't get the clue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrTuner Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Really, people can't read that ? I noticed the unusual font only after a few seconds after it splashed on the screen, the word I recognized instantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdw Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I can understand where a native Thai speaker would have trouble, since they'd be trying to read the Thai & there are two Loh Lings (Thai letter L) in there in place of As. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post yourauntbob Posted August 29, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted August 29, 2012 If they cant read english in the first place then they will not be able to read that. Nothing to do with intellegence and everything to do with langauge ability. If you did the same thing in the Thai alaphebet most people on this forum would fail your "test." 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seasia Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Amusing, thanks, I`ll ask my gf when she comes back from work. As she can read and write Thai and English I`ll be disappointed if she doesn`t work it out. She might just call me stupid, hopefully get a laugh out of it.

DP25 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) If your girlfriend can't read this and can read English, she's either slow or just humoring you. There are lots of Thai fonts too, this concept shouldn't be strange. A Chinese style font that makes the alphabet look kinda like Chinese characters is fairly common so this isn't much different Edited August 29, 2012 by DP25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaamNaam Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 My wife's sound asleep, has been for hours, even sleeps before the kids. Without her having a go at this I will say "NO", can't think out of the box. She stays in her comfort and won't come out until provoked. Then she goes mental. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeforeTigers Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Ha! I am a graphic designer, and was recntly asked to design a tshirt for an American Muay Thai fighter. The lettters were roman, but my rough interpretation of Thai script. I showed it to a Thai friend this weekend and she didn't get the Thai refernece at all... I certainly didn;tblame her. ha!
