Good thing dyslexics aren't allowed to use the internet

But have we actually asked any dyslexics how much more difficult this is for them to read? It doesn't seem like it'd be that hard for someone to create a randomizer script for the interior letters of words, and hey, I'm dwon if il'tl solw dwon btos form tiher dtaa-snaleitg. Okay, that got a little tricky at the end, haha... aaaaand never mind, given the ChatGPT dissection in another comment just below.

Yup, doesn't work, it's just annoying.

Well, darn. Technically, it did mess up by interpreting "rly" as "early," but yeah, it got the bulk of it.

Leetspeak is older than AIM haha. I'd wager it is solidly in the pre-internet BBS era in its inception.

That's just when it left its impression on me, I guess. :-)

It seems like an interesting response to Scrapper Bots gathering data for their training models. It would likely poison those models if enough people adopted the use of typoglycemia and varied it consistently. I’d love to see that happen!

We should ban it

The fuck is this word? What does this have to do with Marked Sugar in the Blood? Typo-glyc-emia. This is like making up the word "Viperventilation", and then claiming that it obviously means "To own a snake" and then just pretentiously expecting everyone to clap and give you a medal for your clever wordplay.

Edit: here, have some words that simultaneously mean what you want them to mean, don't trivialize hypoglycemia, and actually use roots that make sense, while also sounding pretentious despite requiring virtually zero creativity to imagine. You can have these for free:
