Easiest just to copy and paste. Only the first and last letter of each word is in the right place:

Unisg the icndeblire pweor of the hmuan mnid, aocdcrnig to rseecrah at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mttaer in waht oderr the lterets in a wrod are, the olny irpoamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rhgit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it whoutit a pboerlm. Tihs is bucseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey ltteer by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Aaznmig, huh? Yaeh and I awlyas tghhuot slelinpg was ipmorantt! See if yuor fdreins can raed tihs too.

Which is all well and good when the majority of words used are 2 - 5 letters long with only the odd longer word sprinkled in. (That can be inferred from context).

So maybe that is why they can so easily understand this shit? Because their vocabulary is limited to squeals and grunts without a true logophile's penchant for appropriate verbiosity?

However, there is an interesting piece here on typography and word recognition. I need to sit down and read that tonight.

Well, well. I did wonder what happened with this thing. I originally did the engine fit, headers, airbox and fuel tank fabrication. When he first bought it in it didn't look like too much of a trick to get it all in the frame but there is soooooooooo much other shit you forget about (fuel pump, dry sump gubbins etc)

When it first arrived he wanted to lengthen the wheelbase and wanted a longer swingarm built. I said to him that it didn't make sense to move the rider mass off the drive wheels as traction would be a problem in any case. I fabricated front wishbones. He's saying he's got some US made things but it all looks rather like what I built so who knows?

On the bright side. At least he's still alive.

Masters of prolixity, verbosity and garrulousness!

I would prefer if said numpty wrote the add spattered with redundant pleonasm

Me too. I never got to see it finished. He rolled it out the door, I breathed a sigh of relief and hoped all the hair I had pulled out during the project would grow back.

A proper bloke would have posted scary You Tube videos

maybe he never had the stones to give it a good thrashing.

I don't think he did. He kept talking about his 'mate' that would ride it.

His mate would have been able to spare a hand to hold the camera - he was a legend apparently
