I think 55/100 is wrong - everyone at work who tried it can read it - it is more like 99/100

Only great minds can read

This is weird, but
interesting!

He he, when you grow up with dislexic friends its easy [:D]

Without being cruel, how would the French make out if it were re typed in French? I try soooo hard to say the word I mean and unless its absolutely perfect they don't usually get it. My fault not theirs I am in their country, just an observation.

OK Clair .. lets try this one then ?

Carol Thatcher and the G word. ?

I once created some worksheets for people with spelling problems. They included (deliberate) spelling mistakes which the person had to correct. The poor typist who had to copy them out was nearly in tears !

There are quite a few examples around - like this one.

I find the French one far easier to read and understand than the English ones, although I had no trouble with them.

I think there is a mistake in the 3rd to last word, it was the only one that I couldnt read at normal speed, I think that "put" should be "up" i.e. the past participle of the verb pouvoir. I guess being a 2 letter word they couldnt reverse it so added the rogue "t"

I reckon that I found it easier to understand because when I read French I unconsciously skip words that I am unsure of and follow the general gist, the first book I read took me sevearl months, I really enjoyed it and so read it again after a pause of a few months, I was amazed at how much moe detail I got from it on the second reading, mainly words that I had skipped but were repeated enough times so that by the end I had learned them.

On the subject of the French understanding something not quite right:

I always quote this but here goes again.

Mr. bubbles is not a confident french speaker.

Years ago, when you used to get served with petrol at a garage and didn't have to do it yourself, we pulled in and I encouraged him to ask the man himself.

He said in his best french "le plein, s'il vous plait"

which should have been fairly obvious really.

He got "quoi?" in reply

It set poor Mr. B back years.

[Anton Redman]

Read it is easy - you do not know how hard I had to work to stop writing like this - a Theasuraus is great you can find a word which sounds like the word you need or is the same as or it is the complete opposite. If I could look the word in a dictionary, I could spell the word so I would not need to look it up in the dictionary.

Best comment I ever received was in a petrol station pulling out of Rouen bill was FF 491.98 . Said in French the amount correctly and said you would get your bac in England if you could promounce that correctly. Lady at the till made me repeat the amount to the next three truckers before saying she would sign off my application to the local university

Her should try again, it was probably a matter of pronunciation.

My boyfriend speaks good French , but sometimes people have him repeat something, just because he has an English accent, which makes certain   words not understandable to some French speakers that are not used to his delightful lovely awesome English accent !! [;-)]

a friend of mine was in Perpignan 2 weeks ago. At the hotel she was cold as she got into bed. Phoned room service and asked 'je voudrais un blankette SVP' - 30 mins the trolley arrived with a very stressed chef ... my friend was extremely surprised - and it did war her up. She got a couverture the next day. Told me the story yesterday.

Hee Hee Heeee  

Excellent!

Recently with Ian we went into an antique shop, looking for a buffet.

The way he pronounced " buffet" was not understood..... [:(] 

In such circumstances, I do repeat to the shopkeeper.

Shouldn't I ?

[Théière]

Why an antique shop? I wouldn't eat anything that old [:D]
