Yes, it's true!
Many studies have proven it.
The key is to have enough supporting words accompanying so as to allow the reader to assimilate an intended meaning or trend of thought.
One misspelled word taken out of context can be misunderstood, misconstrued, or misinterpreted.

Example of single word confusion-

Good example of how Trend of Thought works...
Abstract assimilation and interpretation.
If we actually read every letter it would take much longer to understand and process the thought that is being conveyed. The brain is an amazing processor- it can process the abstract. When computers can process abstract information it will be a huge breakthough. When that happens then computers will truly think and not just process characters. It may happen sooner than we know....
 
 
Vizal, I see what you mean now. There are actually two searches: The generic site-wide that uses google (near the bottom of the page) and the one that’s built into and specific to the forums (near top of the page next to User CP, FAQ, Members List...). The latter is what you want to use when searching for posts.
 
bloody he11 !!!

hmmm... If I get another one of these Cambridge email thingies, oh man there will be some major beat-down ensuing! Who else keeps getting these type of fwd's from friends/coworkers/family?!? Grrr... :mad:

(I wonder if there is an auto-reply I can toggle on for "certain" kinds of emails I receive... which of-course will lay the verbal smackdown in cyberland w/o getting my hands dirty)
