Cunning Linguists Languages and their use. What languages do you speak and why? What do words really mean? Can you say things in one language that you can't say in another? Should there be a national language? How many languages should a person know and what are they?

I don't want to close this yet because the findings of that study are very interesting. Add to your post something pertaining to the thing you pasted. Maybe facts about linguistics or some insight, along with a description of what it is and how it ties into language study. For example: I find that it's one of the justifications for Chinese characters. fluent readers just see a "picture" of a word, and it's so automatic that even with an illogical spelling system like in english you just "know" what to read, no need to concentrate on sounding it out.


We don't like copypasta here.

I actually can read it, but for the 45 people that can't please describe it.

Most likely, the only people who would have a hard time reading this are those who aren't very literate and rely more on phonetic interpretations. The thing I've wondered about this thing is if it really comes from a legitimate study. It probably does but I'd actually like to see it.

personally I would add "flexible". because not being able to read some fucked up text as fast as others doesn´t mean you can´t read. it´s like with kids that can add 4+5 but don´t understand "4 apples + 5 peas is how many fruits" ..

I'm pretty sure nearly everyone can read that, except for the illiterate and the people who are just plain retarded. I know this isn't IFIOTW, but this is just SO OLD!
