I saw this optical illusion while surfing the web one day and decided it really is true. Despite the minor spelling or grammar mistakes we make it is fairly easy to interpret what something truly means. The only problem with this is we may misinterpret or read to far into what this truly means, ie oh the person must be foreign, the person must be ill educated. This can be a problem in and of itself because we will instantly judge on something so minor and yet does it matter we still understand, we can still communicate. Just a thought I had when I saw this

excellent example to illustrate the visuality of language; it's not just simply decoding letter by letter.
