The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe.

    Damn. That really works. Is there a script online somewhere to make up this texts. I'm to lazy to make them up myself.

    Are you advising us to ignore the laws of gravity here in the FK forums?

    My threads never had a single miss spelling... of course you must know the proper encryption key to read the actual message.

    a few posts have been split from this thread and will be dealt with by mods.

    remember that swearing is censored here for a reason and profanity is against the terms of agreement you signed up to. This isn't a school playground, mixing up a few letters in a swear word isn't clever.

    those who were abusing the forum will be dealt with.

    cheers

    Oh god. Could you imagine enigma (who has his own, erm, "unique" ways of spelling as is) intentionally obfuscating his posts?

    Then again, that might actually lead to more legible text...
