Try reading the gibberish below at a normal reading speed.  Believe it or not you can read it.

Yes, I can read it, so perhaps they are right, the mind does fills in and or completes where it needs to.
Interesting, that is how I could understand a Brazilian who came to the Lottery Post time ago as Portuguese is very alike to Spanish.

There is actually a NC writer Lee Smith whose books where similiar to this. They spoke the language from up in the "hollar"
