Honestly, how much of that did you read before it occurred to you that Dave was doing something other than his normal spelling? That, and sucking hairy monkey ass. Geez. Lay off the monkey ass, Dave.

Actually, this is a vast improvement over Dave's normal spelling style. I mean, all the letters are actually *there*, and at least two of them are in the right place.

Yeah, when you see a letter it activates representations of words that contain the letter and represses words that don't have the letter. And the more activation a word has the more it reinforces you seeing the letters that are in the words. So you recognize letters that are in words and psuedowords faster than you recognize letters that are in gibberish phrases. I forget what this effect is called.
