reading and comprehension
[email protected]
I got the following today in my mailbox. They were trying to sell cheap
drugs (the ad appeared below this paragraph), so I'm not sure why they
felt the need to write nonsense. It *looks* like a pargraph. It has
capitalization and punctuation---well, periods and commas and such. <G>
Words are spelled correctly, for the most part.
Fascinating piece of "writing" though---why did they pick what they
did? If it were meant to get my attention, it worked. <bwg>
Anyway, I was thinking about reading vs comprehension. I'm a pretty
good reader! But although I could read almost every word, I couldn't
comprehend much of anything! <G>

I've collected bits of spam nonsense. Yes, I'm weird ;-)

Either Google's or Altavista's translation service would do a better job.
Though not much better. :-)
