I remember a similar email about how our brain processes words. As long as the first and last letter of a word is correct, you will read it the way it was intended. However, even with emails and chat messages, I do not like seeing it. Like "have" for instance and written out as "hav" - what's the point of omitting one key stroke? Anyway, love this post and the thought provoking question. =)
Thanks for dropping by my blog too and yes, I would love to be on your blog roll! I'm adding you in mine as well. =) Have a great day!
