That is rubbish that only 55 out of 100 can read it. The whole idea that EVERYBODYS brain looks for the first and last letters, not just 55 out of 100.
It has been hanging around for a long time. I am sure Rob saw the same thing in Latin when he was young.

Did I say it wasn't fun? That "55 out of 100" part was added to the original post that was sent years ago and not needed. I am a stickler for facts.

So true Mark.We should be concerned about the number of adults who can'r read or write.55 out of 100 you say.
As you correctly point out Mark i did see the same problem in my younger days whilst studying Latin and i encounter the same problem today during my Swahili lessons.
