Iltnsegnetiry I'm sdutynig tihs crsrootaivnel pnoheenmon at the Dptmnearet of Liuniigctss at Absytrytewh Uivsreitny and my exartrnairdoy doisiervecs waleoetderhlhy cndairotct the picsbeliud fdnngiis rrgdinaeg the rtlvaeie dfuictlify of ialtnstny ttalrisanng steennces.

Or, if you prefer...
Interestingly I'm studying this controversial phenomenon at the Department of Linguistics at Aberystwyth University and my extraordinary discoveries wholeheartedly contradict the publicised findings regarding the relative difficulty of instantly translating sentences. My researchers developed a convenient contraption at http://www.aardvarkbusiness.net/tool that demonstrates that the hypothesis uniquely warrants credibility if the assumption that the preponderance of your words is not extended is unquestionable. Apologies for adopting a contradictory viewpoint but, theoretically speaking, lengthening the words can manufacture an incongruous statement that is virtually incomprehensible.

This whole issue is certainly very interesting. Although we can read what the word is, we also, of course, recognise that there is an error in the spelling.
It's quite remarkable the way in which our brain works.

Actually I had no idea what some of the mis-spelled words were in altyfc's post until I saw the correctly spelled version below it.

Hmm, interesting. How about the first post tn? The longer the words are, the harder they are to understand, this is possibly why. It's understandable.
