Yes, I was able to read wichita's quote but I was reading more slowly than I do when words are spelled correctly.

actually i found that when i read it more slowly i would stumble over words and it would take a second to figure some of them out. but the faster i went, relying more on context, the easier it became, and at a certain point it became as easy reading normal text.
but you're right that it does break down for longer words. for example "phaonmneal" has the first and last 2 letters correct and has the consonants in the right order, and would probably be unintelligable otherwise.

Yes, they found that out some time back.

Pretty interesting though.
