Heh. In spanish, "LL" is one letter.
For this to trick to work I think the two ells need to be kept together.

My daughter assists in cognitive psych research her comment was : "But it is in sentence format so that makes a big difference as well. heh"
She is playing with words and letter groupings and even colours of displays. I think I will stick with learning how to read a tape without making errors. Randy
Funny, the only jumbled word that slowed me down in the whole thread was the word selpl (spell). I actually had to stop and think about it.

PS: The above is exactly as typed. Regulars will notice that 99% of my postings are meticulously spelled and grammar checked. I do this by reading it through after typing and correcting it myself, which I will do with this paragraph. I never use a spell checker.

I do use a Dvorak keyboard, and it really slows me down when I have to use a querty keyboard. But I can touch type with the Dvorak keyboard, so it is all right if I just switch via software. It does confuse people if I forget to switch back.
