I am so very glad you guys started posting more videos!!! I was going through "What You Ought To Know" withdraw!! lol I really want you guys to get funding somewhere.
@calus14 besides that, they have an animated background and thats why most people click on it, if you go and click on Browse and pick a random video, you most likely click something with a persons face with a colorful background.
@JorusC This effect doesn't apply in every language, the first and last one or two letters of most Hebrew words are contextual letters that give you more information - given you know what the word is. The middle letters are the 'real' word and that is either three or in a few cases four letters and changing the order of the letters always changes the meaning of the word - that is, any word in Hebrew with two or more contextual letters is impossible to decipher without the middle 3+ letters.
@Slanzinger It also doesn't follow the rules in that no matter how the letters are rearranged, 'rscheearch' still doesn't spell 'researcher'. The closest you can get with those letters spells... uh... research...ch? chresearch? I rather like creshearch, myself. Slight credence, yes, when you consider that you don't read each individual letter when reading a word. It's similar to knowing that five plus ten equals fifteen, without having to do actual addition in your head. :)
I love that last part about forwarding the video to our closest friends and having bad luck for a year. It reminds those morons who send chain mails that they are doing extremely stupid things.
@windigo77 I remember that one. Being skeptical of something doesn't imply you should be mean to everyone believing in it. In that video they were simply consensual while still making the point they wanted, and that point was not to insult believers.
I am a post lingually deafened adult. I lip read rather then sign. I find decoding words can be done by anyone that has a decent working vocabulary of the words they are trying to decode. Plus it helps to see the words used in context with others to help the flow of understanding. Sometimes when I miss a word on the lips that someone is speaking I can fill it in by knowing the flow of the conversation. Only 60 percent of the english language can be read on the lips.
@rebelpilotx It depends. You got alleviate right, but skepticism was easy to spot because it was kind of predictable. I was watching this at a quarter of my "brain activity" and I figured out skepticism almost instantaneously
It's very possible to read any jumbled up words in a sentence correctly, it all depends on how fluent you are with the language and whether the current words being deciphered in the sentence make any sense. It gets a fair bit harder with longer words and words which you may not come across very often.
@zrehlers No you unscrambled it you didn't read it. The idea is that the original paragraph can be read as if you were reading a normal text. Solving some scrambled words, even if takes but a second, is different.
@ItsNeuroscience I read "through a healthy dose of skeptism" the first time watching just fine. Couldn't work out what the first two were, but they are less commonly used
any word with three letters or less can't have anything to mix up in the middle, remember, it has to have the first and last letters the same. you cant reverse 'at' you can't mix up 'and'... the four letter words do only have two to mix up, and what is his point? that it is easier to process those, I easily read the 10 letter words. in this last sentence, i pretty much got the entire sentence except the first two words. though i do agree, you can mix it up in a way to make it harder to read.
but argument was that if my message is conveyed successfully with some spelling mistakes, why someone corrects me for my spelling... and same things apply to pronunciation too...
@yelloke2006 The title is a double entendre. "Spelling is important" or "The topic of spelling". I just thought I'd share... in case you still wanted to like the video and hate spelling at the same time.
Tackling a word by itself will be harder to do then using groups of words. It is not the brain over glossing individual letters here but rather a thought picture. Making an image that means something to someone else. The more data that is available the better the picture will be. Eyes , ears, and touch. So some could read it without a problem if they have strong command of the written language and word usage. But a poor reader or one unaquanted with the words chosen to scramble would struggle.
@zune0101 i think there is something fundementaly flawed with our society if we put greater value in the small details at the expence of missing the, most often important, idea.
@zune0101 I'm in third year university majoring in biomedical science with honours. (honors if you're american and actually* care) i just hate it when i read somethign with big ideas that i think are important, i pass it on, but then other ppl just point out spelling mistakes. missing the big picture. missing the things that will actually affect tehir lives.
as for my field, the peer review is very important. because, at least in biology, spelling is something they're not suppose to be overly obsessed about. if it's biology it's always backed with facts. numbers and figures. (that's why i'm here). in science there is this drive to go deep into things. and not focus on the shallow appearance of the outside. science is raw, like an unedited novel. i believe in capitalism. competition is fundamental to progress (eg evolution, or legal equality (4u))
1:57 I find this almost as impressive as the original point of the text. The fact that people can anticipate words in a sentence, making egeags almost un-thshe3hsrh is imprsesg.
Spelling is especially important for uncommon words that look kind of like common words, for precisely the reason they claim spelling doesn't matter. People often read my name as Breanna instead of Brenna because they don't pay attention to the letters in the middle.
Having all the words misspelled in the puzzle while still using the correct letters involved is one thing - but it does alter the way you read it if any of the words don't contain the correct letters though. The last puzzle you presented ended with ... through a healthy dose of skepticism - when it should have been ... through a healthy dose of scepticism.
Don't listen to this guy, he's just flat out wrong. The reason you could read that paragraph, but not the one you formatted is complete neuroscience. During the developmental stages of the CNS(brain), temporal lobes and occipital/visual cortex; your neurons first make connections between consonants.Remember the "mama, dada" phenomena? If you remove the consonants from the beginning or ends of a word, your occipital lobes first process what's "most likely" based upon common language and usage.
@super3slug I got it pretty fast .. I typically read by quickly scanning so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. regardless of the fail I still agree with his point and the show is pretty awesome over all so what ev
Most European languages have a mathematical precision. English being the exception, is a very flexible language with fewer rules and It's also an evolving language with plenty of borrowed words.
@WhatYouOughtToKnow I would be scared, they named the titanic after titan, and we all know how that ends. I hope that your company doesn't go the same way :)
Skepticism is important.. All though the original paragraph does make its point. Spelling isnt all important. You can easily read most sentences without the words being spelled right.
Milptisnsh lofngng plaxnifni. Yeah, you can't "say, write, or express whatever, or however you want to," and expect people to understand you or for your message to be compelling. Spelling and grammar are not a "sport" but are rather a device to help communication stay clear. "Let's eat, Greg." vs. "Let's eat Greg!" Big difference. Also, misspelling words can lead to awkward situations, though I won't offer examples. So no, spelling and grammar aren't for control - they're for communication.
It's awesome that you guys have been coming out with all these new videos! Many thanks.
I never get tired of watching your videos... it is rare to find such a good mix of humor and solid information at the same time. Keep them rolling!
I miss these guys. I think it's time for me to watch every single one of their videos again.
I am so very glad you guys started posting more videos!!! I was going through "What You Ought To Know" withdraw!! lol I really want you guys to get funding somewhere.
I miss you guys. :(
+Memington I just found these guys a few months ago.. Why don't they post anymore!?
+SillyBehavior they do
They just started up again
Just discovered your videos + love them already. great stuff!
Just thought that you ought to know that your shows are great and I hope to use them in my classroom.
Glad to see that you are making videos regularly again! =)
you are a genius. I couldn't get it and was completely boggled by all the words
I WAS going to send this to facebook, then I caught your last sentence... Job well done, you!
The bad luck thing at the end was the best part. And I like how children's spelling videos are on the suggestions for this one.
@calus14 besides that, they have an animated background and thats why most people click on it, if you go and click on Browse and pick a random video, you most likely click something with a persons face with a colorful background.
Yeahhh!!! Okay, so it did take me longer than the first paragraph but I still got the Alleviate uncertainties through a healthy does of skepticism.
@The3nlightened0ne
Only the first word puzzled me, as i don't use it at all.
@JorusC This effect doesn't apply in every language, the first and last one or two letters of most Hebrew words are contextual letters that give you more information - given you know what the word is.
The middle letters are the 'real' word and that is either three or in a few cases four letters and changing the order of the letters always changes the meaning of the word - that is, any word in Hebrew with two or more contextual letters is impossible to decipher without the middle 3+ letters.
Saw this crop up again on facebook today, in 2024 of all things... Every time I see a similar post, I link this video
@Slanzinger It also doesn't follow the rules in that no matter how the letters are rearranged, 'rscheearch' still doesn't spell 'researcher'. The closest you can get with those letters spells... uh... research...ch? chresearch? I rather like creshearch, myself. Slight credence, yes, when you consider that you don't read each individual letter when reading a word. It's similar to knowing that five plus ten equals fifteen, without having to do actual addition in your head. :)
I love that last part about forwarding the video to our closest friends and having bad luck for a year. It reminds those morons who send chain mails that they are doing extremely stupid things.
3 vids in a week! You're my hero!
I word the sentence at the end like the paragraph. Magic still exists in my brain!
@windigo77 I remember that one. Being skeptical of something doesn't imply you should be mean to everyone believing in it. In that video they were simply consensual while still making the point they wanted, and that point was not to insult believers.
I guess that's how meaningless most e-mails are. I didn't even bother to try and milk some skepticism out of my brain for that one. Nicely done.
I remember reading that on Snopes.

Awesome, although I could read your "disproving" sentence within a few seconds, I did have to pause it, and in general you're still right.
Yeah... I aced that test sentence of yours, so I think the premise is pretty valid still.
@zrehlers No you unscrambled it you didn't read it.
The idea is that the original paragraph can be read as if you were reading a normal text. Solving some scrambled words, even if takes but a second, is different.
I MISS THESE GUYS!
I still figured out the challenge sentence fairly easily.
i actually read " alleviate blabla through a healthy does of skepticism" i didn't know what the second word was
@AsianInMyPantz According to Matt Davis @ Cambridge the trick only works in certain languages as well.
@Slanzinger I don;t think it's meant to be researcher, i think they want to say research... either way, they spelt it wrong
@ItsNeuroscience
I read "through a healthy dose of skeptism" the first time watching just fine. Couldn't work out what the first two were, but they are less commonly used
2:16 I'm able to identify everything but the second word. "Alleviate [...] through a healthy dose of skepticism."
any word with three letters or less can't have anything to mix up in the middle, remember, it has to have the first and last letters the same. you cant reverse 'at' you can't mix up 'and'... the four letter words do only have two to mix up, and what is his point? that it is easier to process those, I easily read the 10 letter words. in this last sentence, i pretty much got the entire sentence except the first two words. though i do agree, you can mix it up in a way to make it harder to read.
This guy reminds me EXACTLY of my physics teacher. He's a great teacher.
I didn't forward this to all my friends 12 years ago and I'm still having bad luck.
but argument was that if my message is conveyed successfully with some spelling mistakes, why someone corrects me for my spelling...
and same things apply to pronunciation too...
I actually anticipated the sentence @ 2:19
It's pretty simplistic if you're an avid reader.
@yelloke2006 The title is a double entendre. "Spelling is important" or "The topic of spelling". I just thought I'd share... in case you still wanted to like the video and hate spelling at the same time.

Well played sir. Well played.
@zune0101 i think there is something fundementaly flawed with our society if we put greater value in the small details at the expence of missing the, most often important, idea.
you just crushed my spirit. just thought you should know.
Couldn't get the first two words and had to think for a second to get the rest.
@dana199587 Before you do, make sure that you check out the link to Cambridge in the video description.
thats pretty cool! i thought the words were spelled more or less correct until half of the paragraph!
Thank you so much. I've been trying to convince people that this email isn't scientifically backed up. Uhhh the pains of being a Linguist.
@zune0101 I'm in third year university majoring in biomedical science with honours. (honors if you're american and actually* care)
i just hate it when i read somethign with big ideas that i think are important, i pass it on, but then other ppl just point out spelling mistakes. missing the big picture. missing the things that will actually affect tehir lives.
this show deserves more views
He's channeling some serious Andy "Nard Dog" Bernard.

Thank you, liked, favorited, and subscribed.
Yay I instantly recognized skepticism :D
I LOVE THIS GUY!!! :D
You just got it. Need more letters in words, and words out brain does not expect to be there for this to be true.
I still shared this video on Facebook, it deserves it and so does wyotk
Damn, great channel man!

"skepticism" with a K is the American spelling
@BarinadeBP
ok then try this
"Hilpapy aoutrhs sitll issnit on fwinollog dullfready oslotebe snellpig."
Not so easy now is it?
it would be fair to swap the letters about per syllable not per word
If I have bad luck for a million years will my dead body have bad luck
wow i never thought about that
@SonyWalkman Is that one of those examples when we shouldn't believe everything one writes?
Actually, I read those words pretty easy. Must be so awesome.
Works even better upside down.
that little parler trick as you call it has never worked on me, even tho it is a simple version.
Proper spelling and grammar make you appear more mature and professional to others.
@aceistookool TitanArts is the name of our company.
i could read skepticism
SO MANY SHOWS LATELY?! WAT?! my mind she is blown
I'm going to show this video to my friends.
Don't listen to this guy, he's just flat out wrong. The reason you could read that paragraph, but not the one you formatted is complete neuroscience.

Read this comment please so that you can understand.At last someone that understands this.
@super3slug I got it pretty fast .. I typically read by quickly scanning so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. regardless of the fail I still agree with his point and the show is pretty awesome over all so what ev
@poiopop That's true. But someone keeps putting it in my inbox.
damn I love this show
NICE ONE, BRUV
Most European languages have a mathematical precision. English being the exception, is a very flexible language with fewer rules and It's also an evolving language with plenty of borrowed words.
Does anyone else notice that when they scrambled the word researcher, they put 'ch' in the word twice and forgot the last 'er'?
i could read skepticism
thats enough for me :)
@chewondoggy Not if you're like me and made youtube expand the video by default.. then the background is grey ;D
Priceless
I paused it, and it only took me a few seconds to figure out what the sentence said.
@WhatYouOughtToKnow I would be scared, they named the titanic after titan, and we all know how that ends. I hope that your company doesn't go the same way :)
If I forward this video to all my friends, will I live for a million years?
@tdog076 I know this theory is wrong, but it's still fun to try and read this: Happily, authors still _ on following _ obsolete spelling.
Skepticism is important.. All though the original paragraph does make its point. Spelling isnt all important. You can easily read most sentences without the words being spelled right.
Milptisnsh lofngng plaxnifni.
Yeah, you can't "say, write, or express whatever,
or however you want to," and expect people to understand you or for your message to be compelling. Spelling and grammar are not a "sport" but are rather a device to help communication stay clear.
"Let's eat, Greg." vs. "Let's eat Greg!"
Big difference.
Also, misspelling words can lead to awkward situations, though I won't offer examples.
So no, spelling and grammar aren't for control - they're for communication.
Not too shabby.
the 4 people who gave this a thumbs down couldnt read the scrambled sentence you came up with
@Slanzinger I read "rscheearch" as research at first instead of researcher.
you guys are awesome
Our teacher showed this to us in class last year, I'm gonna show her this video :)
Just because you can't, doesn't mean no one else can.
A few seconds, honestly. "Innately" was kind of hard, but the one in the video was harder.
