Yes, my Friends and Fellow Americans - here is yet another goofy “Brain-Fart!’ A ‘what if’ situation, whereby the transposition of two vowels might throw a ‘monkey-wrench’ into the fathoming of normal language? In the spoken word, it would be most difficult and cumbersome to even attempt to do so, but by using the word-processing feature of ‘Search and Replace’ of MSN’s WORD software, it could be feasible to do. ERGO - THIS IS A TEST for You and for me. I already realized that every time the word ‘you’ appears, it will spell IOU - and yet Y owe iou nothing! Now, I shall attempt to leave this introduction, or preamble in ‘normal’ mode, i.e. the I’s and Y’s NOT transposed, so you will hopefully be able to comprehend the readability thereof, and only switch that which follows - CAPICE? OH IEAH - PYC YS - MATLACK MANYA !

That was a SYck Joke! “Y Love How Iou Love Me” “Y Love Iou So” “Iou Made Me Love Iou” “Iou Are MI DestYnI” “LYttle BYtty PrettI One” “HappI BYrthdaI Sweet SYxteen” “Y’m LeavYn’ Yt All Up To Iou” Y Once thought Y had made a MYstake - But Y was Wrong! Y could go on all daI, but that’s enough of thYs crap! Y said Yt was onlI a Test, dYdn’t Y? © - TKH

I have always been interested in written languages and perception. This one is intriguing, Tom. It reminds me of a quiz-thing which played on the Internet for a while. In it, there was a short paragraph where all of the words had their letters jumbled, and the challenge was to see if you could figure out what was said in the paragraph. Believe it of not, there were some people who could read the paragraph straight, with no hesitation, as if the jumbling of letters had no effect on their perception of the words. Maybe not everyone can do this, but apparently the brain perceives optical input more by context than by exact content. A bit scary, actually.
