Every time I see this, I think it's awesome. The sad part is, the first time I read it I didn't even notice the words were misspelled. But then, I guess that's the point!

yeah but some of the words you have to read twice in context to understand. There is a great site online that gives the history of this text if you're interested

People also skip words completely when reading, as they try and complete the sentence before they reach the end.
