Neat!

I had no problem either.

In fact, I didn't even notice that According was misspelled in the thread title.

The last discussion of this was in TIO, here.

I'm sure it'll pop up again, too. It's one of those things that does

ETA: here's another one.

And it's not as simple as they make it sound. The actual spelling in that paragraph is not random, even apart from first and last letters. And the word choice isn't random either.

People don't just look at whole words, esp. for long words -- we also look at word parts.

So, cfusone is much less readable than cofnsue

Was that intentional? Darn. Maybe I shouldn't have cleaned up the thread title.

(I almost did but fought back the temptation when I realized the misspelling was deliberate.)
