I read it no problem. But the interesting this is that we more or less "ignored" the vowels. In speech, it's the opposite that's true. More attention are paid to the vowel sounds than to consonant sounds.
I have no problem reading it... but it drove me crazy. I have seen things like that before... but I do have to say that I think you have to be a fluent reader to get it... hand this to one of our kids who isn't a fluent reader yet and I bet they have some major issues.
hehe.. Jackie... maybe I should print it out and take it to Walmart with me for the next time I get frustrated with someone I can't understand...let them find that frustration.
I got them before and understand them ok.. but then again I been told I am different before. Oh well.
I could read it fine. I asked my 11 and 9 year old to read it and they had very little trouble. (you it's because their teacher cannot spell? LOL)
