Dude, kat, get yourself a spell-checker.

I know, it's so cool isn't it

Spellcheckers are the death of literacy.

Ahem...

ODE TO A SPELL CHECKER
by Jerrold H Zar

I have a spelling checker.
It came with my PC.
It plane lee marks four my revue
Miss steaks aye can knot sea.

Eye ran this poem threw it,
Your sure reel glad two no.
Its vary polished in it's weigh.
My checker tolled me sew.

A checker is a bless sing.
It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It helps me right awl stiles two reed,
And aides me when aye rime.

Each frays come posed up on my screen
Eye trussed too be a joule.
The checker pours o'er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.

Bee fore a veiling checker's
Hour spelling mite decline,
And if we're lacks oar have a laps,
We wood bee maid to wine.

Butt now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare,
Their are know fault's with in my cite,
Of nun eye am a wear.

Now spelling does knot phase me,
it does knot bring a tier.
My pay purrs awl due glad den
With wrapped word's fare as hear.

To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should bee proud,
And wee mussed dew the best wee can,
Sew flaw's are knot aloud.

Sow ewe can sea why aye dew prays
Such soft wear four pea seas,
And why eye brake in two averse
Buy righting want too pleas.

Well, it must be true because I read it with no problem.

the title should be "only some people can"

Hmm, I wonder. Maybe this only works for a persons native language, or at least one with which they have perfect fluency. You might need to have the words hardwired into your language center to be able to do the mental jumble puzzle. If you have to first translate the word to your understanding then I think the spelling mix-up would clog the process.

I also wonder now if this is a glimspe into how the brain works that might help with figuring out dyslexia. It seems related in a way.

And of course, part of the idea of language fluency IS literacy. If you can't spell worth a damn you probably won't be able to mentally unjumble the spelling and be able to read it.

Hey! It's a whole new 133t 5p33k! For leritate poelpe olny!
