I use that spiel as an introductory overhead in my lecture to my students about spelling to make them tell me why spelling is important if they can read that mish-mosh.
They all admit that poor spelling makes people look stupid--and that's my point. Spelling is not always about communication, it's about other people's perception of you.

That was quite amazing Georgette. I would never have believed the brain's ability to decipher that, if I hadn't actually read it myself!! Pretty cool....
