Jordo......why are you using CW78's login???


(Sorry Jord, just a 'wee-dig')

I read it no probs, does that mean that I'm one of the 55% 'clever' ones...

...or 55% of us are dumb enough to understand it...

...or have I been putting up with trying to interpret my apprentice's handwriting for so long that it's become a skill?

Everybody can read it.

Some dope (as per usual email scams) added the "only 55% ...." to make it more interesting.
Like the pics you get on email, then 2 years later you get them again with a different story attached...

Maybe everybody who is already a proficient reader. I can't imagine those just learning to read to be able to understand it like we can.....and if that is true, then maybe that's evidence against the modern 'work recognition' theory of learning to read. Keep the old phonetic method, I reckon.

EDIT:
Doh!.... that's "word recognition".
Ha, what a word/sentence to make a type-o on !!!
