Thakkar Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 This research is at least eight years old. It's been subsequently shown that most people can read this, not just the initially suggested 55%. English doesn't even have to be your first language, but you do need to be competent. For me, English isn't even my second language; it's my third language and still I have no trouble reading it. I've read somewhere that reading such constructs is good for the brain as it forces it to work a little harder. Since it's hard to find this kind of reading material, an alternative brain exercise is to turn the page upside down and read. I read one page a day that way. Try it.

ivan96822 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I was going to make a remark about how pointless this thread is. Then I said to myself I wouldn`t do it. Then I figured I could get credit for one more "post." Ha! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyFeet Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I think this shows up most in English because of the strange spellings. Less pronounced in a language like Spanish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
