It’s true. I read easily. However, the discourse is easier. The single word “Amzanig” is harder to decode. I think it’s up to the language competency of the EFL learners.

Robert Murray says:
Very interesting, but the writer doesn’t take into account that this is what dyslexics face all the time. Without having the means to decode the words in the first place, they will always seem to be jumbled. The words appear to be comprehensible to other readers because they are used to reading. and because English doesn’t have so many consonant or vowel clusters.

At first, I had got a little difficulty when reading then I was immediately acquainted with the strange form of the words. I know more about human mind. Totally agree that it is very interesting!

That is very interesting. As a native English speaker, it’s very easy for me to make sense of those sentences. I wonder how English learners felt when trying to read it, though. Any comments from students?
