Interesting, I thought. I had a little trouble reading it, but not very much. Overall, I would say it did slow down my reading a bit as I had to stop momentarily to figure out what some words were.

There is an even longer version than that shrot paragraph they did I think. I'll search around and see if I can find it. Or I might even procrastinate like I usually do.
A simple text based signature? That's impossible!

I've seen the concept before, but this is the first time I've seen anyone actually researching it. It's interesting to see some actually science applied to it for real.

I do find the transposed text readable, but I do have to slow down and take a second glance at some of the words too. It just goes to show that people can make sense of little spelling errors in context.
