Only 55 people out of 100 can read that? That's pretty amazing!

For the record, it was slow at first, but by the end of the article I was reading it at nearly my normal reading speed.  This is one of the most interesting articles I've ran across in quite some time.  It also explains how you can proof-read a document 10 times and still miss stupid mistakes.

I did proof reading for a couple of summers for a publisher some years ago.  It takes a lot of concentration to do it right.  You have to teach yourself not to pay much attention to the actual content, and to concentrate on spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc.  What it's about is almost irrelevant. 

One thing I learned from that, however, was the automatic correction of mistakes as I type.  I still miss a word or blow a comma from time to time, but I very seldom feel a need to run a spell checker.
