The only reason any of us can make sense of it is because we already know how to read English. If we didn't know how to read it would make no sense to us at all. So it's a fallacy to say that this is comprehensible as a fact of nature. If someone didn't have a fluent command of English would they be able to comprehend it?



Sorry abotu eht spanner btu I cnta hlep ti.
Um, if someone couldn't read English, it wouldn't matter if it was spelled properly or not. :yh_eyebro
