If someone takes the result of this study to mean that spelling isn't important, they are missing the point of proper spelling and grammar. It isn't so that you can read it, it is so that you can read it well. When words are properly spelled out and in the right order and punctuated properly, it makes them easier to read. The faster you can read something, the better your comprehension, and the more likely you are to retain that information.
When one writes poorly (or in shorthand or whatever you want to call it) they are saving themselves precious little seconds, but it will take that much longer for everyone who has to read the person's writing. Proper spelling and grammar is a courtesy to others, and is a better way to make your voice heard.

I swear that way is even easier than correct spelling. Or should I say: I seawr taht way is eevn eaiser tahn crrocet selilnpg.Really? That's interesting. I wonder if it has to do with how a person's brain functions. How fast can you read? That might be a factor too.

I'm a fairly quick reader, and maybe I'm not faster reading the jumbled words, but I never had to sit and think about what I was reading.

I can read fast (and did when I was in college) and grasp what I was reading. With novels though I tend to read them at a moderate pace, usually reading it word by word. For some reason this way of reading sucks me into a story more then speed reading it.Speed reading works better for studying than it does for entertainment, especially if you're studying something which doesn't particularly interest you. You don't really need to retain what you've read in a novel but you better remember what you've been studying. It helps to find a nice quiet room to read books in because you're more likely to get distracted when you read slower.
When I was in my classes in Japan, the Japanese students could not read this and were blown away that the American kids could read it like it was plain english. How 'bout that.It makes some sense. Because we're so familiar with the words, it's easy for us to identify what they are. I wonder if someone would be able to figure out the correct letter order for a word they've never seen before...

Able, and it's not that hard.

Since this thread got bumped, I thought I'd drop by with an anecdote about this article. When I was in my classes in Japan, the Japanese students could not read this and were blown away that the American kids could read it like it was plain english. How 'bout that.

English is my second language, so I was able to read this without any issues.
