Paige,

I made it through the whole thing!

Doesn't surprise me, though. People don't realize that it's the image of the word...not the word itself that we see. If we recongnize the image, we know what the word is automatically.

It's the same reason branding works as well as it does. It's immediately recognizable without any thought.

Think of a brown delivery truck...or golden arches. It doesn't take ANY thought whatsoever to know who they belong to. Your brain automatically thinks UPS and McDonalds.

I love this kind of stuff!

Better be careful the spelling and grammar police will pull you over....lol

I actually learned about this when I was learning sign language (still learning). I started focusing on making sure the first and last letter were correct with my finger spelling.  This help me communicate with the hearing impaired more efficient.  Mainly because I'm such lousy speller.
