Sherri, feel good that you couldn't read "strange." It just means you aren't quite as strange as the rest of us!! When I was a kid, our school did an experimental English program. Instead of learning phonics, we did "whole word" learning. This probably really helped with this post! But I still wish I had learned phonics too.
Hugs & blessings,
Brenda

Tracy, I am the same way...I savor each sentence and word reading a book or I'm afraid I'll miss something! Sometimes if my mind is wandering while I'm reading (like in a noisy place or the TV is on) I will read the page over and over until I can visualize the story from the words. I also have to watch a movie the same way...or I get lost easily. Now I am of average intelligence but I guess I'm one for details to have these types of quirks.

I'm like you Jami-- Left-handed (but we are in our RIGHT mind! LOL!!) AND I can spot grammatical errors and misused words and sentences a MILE away! Though, I find the older I get, the worse I spell! (I can't STAND that! I keep the dictionary handy-- and it's usually the EASY words I have the hardest time with! never had that problem when I was younger.... hm....)
I read this without a problem. I've taken several writing classes over the years and every teacher taught the same thing about this-- that "the human eye only glimpses the word, while the brain deciphers it." That's why some people can read faster than others. It's also the concept they focus on in a "Speed reading" class. Don't waste time LOOKING at the word! Just glance at it and move on to the next. Naw... I like to SEE the word, savor the word... he..he..he...! I'm always afraid I'll MISS something if I don't really LOOK at the words. Like reading the first chapter of a book then skipping to the last. I feel CHEATED!!! (LOL!!)
Thanks for sharing Linda!!!

wow, I'm surprised that only 55 out of 100 can read it, I'd think that the ratio would be higher... it seems so easy.... thanks for sharing!
Sherri, I think the word you didn't get "sgtrane" is strange.... :)

Haha, I read it without any problem. Does that make me strange? If I am, I guess I'm not alone with 55% of the population. Hehe!

I'm must be way too literal...it wasn't so easy for me but I am one who notices a misspelling right away. Our local newspaper is a fine example...it drives me crazy to read it with all of the typos and grammatical errors. I'm left-handed...wonder if that has something to do with it?

That WAS a weird sensation - but it worked just fine! I had to just read it at a normal pace. If I slowed down and tried to "spell out" the letters, my mind would get all confused...
