An IM transcript

I saw this on Tom's blog and IM'd it to Pat. Here's what happened:

PAT: but
SCOOTER: yeah, some further digging makes the % claim seem very doubtful.
SCOOTER: the conclusion about spellign is silly, too.
(editor's note: yes, the misspelling of "spellign" above was deliberate, and yes, i am lame.)
PAT: "fi" does not have its first and last letters in order
PAT: there are two kinds of misspellings on the page, i can't tell why
SCOOTER: what are the two types?
PAT: type one is you basicall typos "fi yuo cna raed"
PAT: type two, deliberate typos scrambling all but first and last letters: taht the frsit and lsat ltteer
PAT: note that 3 letter words are not scrambled in the long passage
PAT: nor are two letter words
PAT: conclusion: line one is by the blogger; everything else is pasted from a smarter source
SCOOTER: good call.
SCOOTER: also, the author's stated rules don't allow words less than 4 characters long to be misspelled.
SCOOTER: first and last have to stay the same.
SCOOTER: so, 2 letter words stay.
SCOOTER: 3 letter words, the first and last have to stay put, which means the middle one stays put, too.
SCOOTER: and there's only one possible permutation of four letter words, 1-3-2-4.
PAT: this isn't quite clog-worthy, but good times
PAT: we could be like psych! but for blogs
SCOOTER: i really really enjoy that show.
PAT: it gre on me, but it turns out it's better than Monk
PAT: grew
SCOOTER: my strange mind was able to read that word without your correction, thank you very much.
PAT: Olny 55 plepoe out of 100 can say taht.
SCOOTER: Thanks, Cambridge!
SCOOTER: also, shouldn't there be something in that blog post about filling in words based on the words that came before and the words that came after, not just on the letters in the given word?
SCOOTER: lots of english words that start and end in the same letter share the same middle parts, too, just in different order.
PAT: that's good point, context is unaccounted for.
SCOOTER: i apologize for sending such a dumb link.
PAT: heh. good times
SCOOTER: mind if i turn this into a post of my own?
PAT: sounds good.
SCOOTER: whirred.
SCOOTER: warning: i might edit the IM's a little.
SCOOTER: you know, just to make me look smart and make you look stupid.
PAT: that's fair
