I did a quick test myself with some 'volunteers', and it seems that a more accurate rule is that you can get away with jumbling most of the letters one or two places. Of course, given that most words in a sentence will be quite short, leaving the first and last letters intact causes this to be obeyed pretty much automatically. i notice also that particularly obvious combinations have been chosen deliberately for the longer words. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD4DBQE/d16u1nHeH53c6l4RArEwAJjZbFhyAypTWV9763BqRTaL6HxeAJ44swbH 4z0+KPLbBbEJ9QoKEDo44Q== =SN26 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Kde-cafe mailing list - [email protected] http://ofb.biz/lists/listinfo.cgi/kde-cafe DISCLAIMER: The views expressed on this mailinglist are the personal opinions of the author and do not represent OfB.biz: Open for Business, KDE or the author's employer.
