That's quite interesting. I was able to read it pretty near full speed. Does this knowledge provide us with any practical application? Is it possible to shorten words to some bare minimum and leave it perfectly readable, thus making it quicker to type? How about some way to help make reading faster. Oh what I would give to be able to read faster...
