All writing is is a symbolic representation of what you hear (simple terms).

As long as the initial consonent cluster is there and roughly the correct vowel (which is the nucleus of the syllable) then the brain decodes what is written down. It will take you longer but it will. Spelling things "correctly" is only a case of conforming to standards set for us. Our brain processes the symbols and matches them to phonological (basically sound system structures) that it has stored. This then interfaces with the core grammar (or language of the mind) and is processed into meaning.

Thats only a very very short and rough-around-the-edges version (simplified of course). Quite cool eh?

And yes: I did a Linguistic Degree - oh dear ;)

:eek: am i bothered to understand that rofl, looks smart tho :worship:
 
But it will indeed take you extra processing time: you just won't notice that it did.

Take it from me: I've read the (bloody long) papers on this sort of thing :)

Hmm, the last letter has to be the same too if I recall correctly. And this is pretty old :D Most ppl I know already know this ;)

The last letter often forms part of the nucleus and becomes part of the nucleaic phoneme. Yes that was old but hey: its true. Done a linguistics degree chap?
