Someone emailed me the above a few years ago. Interesting, yes. Useful? Meh.
I find it much easier to read if I avoid looking at individual words and just sort of glide over the sentences. It helps that words consisting of 3 or fewer letters can't be changed without breaking the rules. It makes the structure of the sentence more apparent.

[theclencher]

Oh, it's useful. In fact it's necessary to read summa the stuff on th web!

[GasSavers_bobski]

The gibberish one encounters on the web isn't as organized as the above passage. ^_^

[GasSavers_TomO]

I'm one of the 55 as well. I also agree that the stuff seen on the web is not nearly as organized as the first post.

Wow, this is strange. When I first started to read the paragraph, I did't realize there was anything wrong. The fact that I can read it is bizarre.

Hey I think ther are a couple of typo's in that stuff.
