That makes sense. They've studied people's eye movements when reading, and found that people don't scan a line smoothly; they jump from point to point instead and fill in the gaps. 'Node points' or something they called them. Some people's node points are further away than others - these people tend to read faster, but also have a higher likelihood of mis-reading bits.

That'd be me then...

I find I can read the above, but slighty slower than I would if it was spelt corrently.
