This is actually sent to me via email. I however still believe that spelling is most important in a word. But it is interesting though. A few conclusion I can draw from this experiment are -
* I believe only English will have this effect since English words are usually very specific. If a Bahasa Malaysia word “Memahami” is changed, I doubt we will be able to read it - Mmamhaei
* Maybe it is imprinted in our way of thinking that what matter are only the beginning and the end. That is why when we watch a movie, we expect the ending to be conclusive. If for example, the movie had a “to-be-continued” type of ending, people tends to be frustrated with it ~ Matrix 2 etc
* Maybe we are so used to spelling error in sms that this is no different
