Yeah, read right through that... interesting...

You also kinda know what the next word will be from the context. That makes it easier too.

hey that's pretty neat, I never noticed that before. Read that post as if it was written properally (except for "itself", I stopped, but i guess that's because it should be 1 word).

reminds me of all those t-shirts saying 'FCUK' or something like that. Or the ones saying 'SUCKER' in a font just like the snickers bar. Best t-shirts yet are the ones that say 'Homosexuals are gay!'

0$ and none of your tax money, it is an English university study so it's my tax money and millions of pounds

Most of the research will most likely come from Tuition fees and it entertained me for a few minutes. Now on the other hand, all these summer blockbuster films cost millions of dollars and tehy didn't entertain me for a minute.

?10 Million well spent :mrgreen:

hehe, it still is a bit interesting. only similar thing i can think of(not simialar at all, really) is if u tell someone to say 'post' 10 or so times, then ask them quickly "what do u put in a toaster?" and they usually say 'toast'.
-estimated taxpayer coast(hehe cost) 251million dollars, practical value 0.03 cents.

don't know if it's the same in all languages but in norwegian, if you ask people to name any vegetable, 99% of the times they say 'carrot'.

"a freudian slip is when you say one thing but mean your mother."

I didn't think it meant that, I thought it was when you say one thing and actually make reference to your actual meaning. For example if your talking to a nice lass, instead of saying "set" you might say "sex", or something like that. That's a freudian slip, a slip of the tongue.

Freud also believed in a theory called the Oedipus complex, that is where secretly every man wants to kill his father and marry his mother, and that's why they will try and find a partner that is like their mother.

Sounds like those two are mixed up in that quote

These are psychological and not related to language though, the first post in this topic is about the way the brain interprets words, and seemingly it does some checks and then associates the word based on it's length and the first and last letters

Let's hope it's not powered by m$ word :lol:
