According to research, we only need to see the first and last letters of a word in order to understand it. This is the first paragraph of my last blog entry, scrambled:

"Tihs miornng, it was aounecnnd that SPA itnneds to buy Beisunss Otbjecs for the elvueiaqnt of $6.8 biillon. Wlihe Bnsesuis Ocebjts will inililaty be run as a wollhy-oewnd siiusradby, I can ciltnaery see the vuale of Bsseunis Objtecs swaortfe being adedd to the SAP ERP - elalpesciy the paotrl, the OALP tool and the data qliatuy tool. SAP saftwore eentualvly colud be rpehesad by this atosiicquin, not olny the ERP, but also the Business Wohurease."

Other than the acronyms, yes, I think I would get this.

I sbrmeelacd this wtih the Jaiprsacvt code at tihs link.

It’s an editor’s productivity-turbo charging tool. Why edit all the letters? If there are 6 letters in the average work and now you only need to get 2 out 6 right you can forget 4 out of 6. For writers with bigger words the productivity on a percentage basis gets even better. It seems like a tremendous productivity enhancer, not to mention how many months of school our kids are wasting on spelling - they could get productive sooner in life and the compounding effect would probably advance humanity generations into the future – it's either brillant or the most useless piece of code ever written.
