Wow. 
wow, ralelly wroks lkie a cahrm!
The U.S. Grammer Guild Monday announced that no more will traditional grammer rules English follow. Combined with this will there new form of organising sentences and spellnigs be, said the Gulid, and that tehy wtih Scittcosh Uinervitsies colabolrtae.
And here’s the article:
“Onperatig uendr we are, one mjaor rlue”, siad Joyce Waettrs, perdisnet of the U.S. Gmrmaar Gliud. “Mkae Esngilh, wnat we, mroe achriac and dengifiid suiondng to be, as if ervey wrod cnomig form the tnouge of a cenrituens-old, mtysiacl wirzad, is.”
Jeze! Tihs wrkos vrey wlel!
If taxpayers money was spent on this research, somebody needs their “asre wlel and turely keicekd” 
Cheers, Mac
trust me, this is NOT the biggest waste of tax money I’ve seen in my life, which is really sad when you think about it.
Unfortunately you’re right.
Cheers, Mac
And how exactly do we cope when several different words, each starting with the same letter, have exactly the same letters? 
I would say that the ‘first and last sounds’ not first and last letters, need to be the same. I did fine with most of what was written Pix (but wondered whether you were punch drunk until I got into the paragraph) except for the final cheerio, when you broke up the C and H.
The other question is whether it works in all languages. Can some of us non-English speaking folks try it out on unsuspecting friends?
I dno’t tihnk taht was a wstae at all.

During a recent spell of academia I was researching attitudes to risk and came accross a ‘scientific’ paper based upon an experiment whereby the researcher attempted to induce fright in ducklings using a polystyrene cliff.
One might consider this cruel if it wasnt so ridiculous! 
Shouldn’t that be “a Sttsioch Uinervtisy”?

Now, it smees fnippilg the letters wroks not the smae dipendeng wehn you laernt to raed, tihs at laest in Fcanre:
the old school would read every syllable, then build the word. This being the long, but precise, way.
the newer, fatser motheds, seem to taech by pettarns, i.e. mroe lkie rezognicing a driwang (i.e. smoe knid of hiegorlyph in thier pirme sense, or rethar idoegarms–a full-wrods besad sombilysm) rethar than alphebatical, ortanoded, heirachrical, cunstroctiun. Nyadawos, I DO hvae to fcae a bit of truoble with kids, in oredr they’ll raed waht’s wttiren, not waht they fnacy.
You may spot, in the random example above, that the shorter the word, the easier it’s identified; over three syllables, some of these spoonerisms do take some effort to dig.
Now, when kids take this pattern of reading, it seems they have more troubles learning new words, because they seem to mentally substitute something they know already for something they should discover. At least, this is my own interpretation of growing dyslexia… Also, they do seem to have some wee problems with spilleng. It makes sense: a new word is something to 1) recognize as such 2) check for meaning and/or spelling in a dictionary. Ignore it, and it seems you can read… “So, why wocking furry?” Rihgt?
That might a bit of a stretch… 
Looks like an excuse to justify poor spelling on the internet and in school if you ask me. Sure, it works, but if you can prove the kids are “really” educated even though they can’t spell worth beens, then they can up the success rate. “Don’t worry dear, just get your ideas across.” Our son went to a school with this type of teaching. He was 2-3 grade levels behind in reading. After we moved and he started at a school that required proper spelling and the like his reading AND comprehention went to above grade level in less than a school year.
Zub also brings up two good points: new words and dyslexia. How do you diagnose dyslexia if everyone spells the same word (idea) differently?
I am wondering how much longer it took you to write your “new spelling” text compared to traditional methods?? Might be able to read it at near traditional methods, but I bet it took you quite a bit longer to compose as you struggled to make sure all the letters were there but in mixed up order, but OH, the first and last have to be in the “correct” spot?
My experience and gut feeling says to put it on the shelf as a party game.
Sorry, I couldn’t resist.
Waht if you are a kginnnnet?
I usd to tak nots in schl lvng mst of th vowls out, and i cn still read most of it!
I took a course in Notehand, my junior year of high school, but I quit using it, lest I lose my spelling abilities. I also don’t use speed dial, lest I forget the telephone numbers that I have committed to memory.
