Human brain is lazy, so long as the first and last letters of the word are in the correct spot, and there is the right number of letters, you'll read the word as it was intended. Substituting letters works on more or less the same basis, you just need to properly look at the words that don't have the right number of letters in them to figure out what they were.

I don't think it's actually because of laziness. Human brains are good at pattern recognition. Written words are patterns of symbols. If the brain thinks it sees a pattern it can fill in missing details using past experience.

I have to admit, that's a pretty damn sweet tatoo job.

I want to make sure everyone understands that "Ban Anna for Scales" is an imgur in-joke, "Banana for scale," and that this didn't actually happen.

[Antsan]

That's a huge relief.

Hence why I put it here, and not the WTF or similar thread. Because if that actually happened, that'd be something to be upset about.
