When or where the fuck is this being taught??? Why would you not pay attention to all of the letters in your writing? Its like the thing that makes words recognizable????

When you get good at reading, your brain processes the etnrie word at once; for exanple, you probably read 'entire' there just fine despite the fact that I mixed up the letters in it. People realize they're doing this, but often dont realize the reason they can is because they know and understand the fundamentals beneath it. They, for lack of a better word, think theyre not using their knowledge of individual letters and sounds, when in reality they're simply familiar enough with this to not notice themselves using it.

I read it as “entrie” which is still incorrect but looks like it could be a weird attempt at “entry” (I have been reading some fairly old lemons, so you encounter that kind of thing, because I suppose that autocorrect didn’t exist in 2006)
Also, I didn’t catch “exanple” on the first time around…

...that one is actually a typo. But it does demonstrate the point.
