I wouldn't say "without problems," but I saw this study, too, and found it to be quite interesting. The brain is very powerful.
Not so much about the SPELLING of words as it is about "persistance of memory". Stenographers learn a system of shorthand to transcribe messages rapidly, we easily come to recognize many symbols conveying messages instantly. Most skilled readers don't linger on every letter in every word. We learn to spell to recognize written words quickly. There may be something a bit Pavlovian in this, but with greater reading skill comes greater speed and better retention and comprehension of what has been read. The faster you read the less likely you are to notice misspelling. - Unless specifically looking for error(as a Proof-Reader) or some other inconsistancies or eccentricities(Forensic Psychologist, perhaps), most readers can gleen the message from even a poorly constructed sentence(if it is indeed a COMPLETE sentence) as long as it is in a familiar language. That said, it is quite possible to find errata in even published works issued from prestigious publishing houses, misspelling and omitted words or passages being the most common of corrigendum. The "mechanics" and "history" of spelling within the English Language is probably a subject for another post.
If you care to look(you slightly compulive types), there are two misspelled words in message 765.
And an obvious misspelling in message 766.
Duck the lot of you
LoL Nice one!
