7. LOL! Maybe this is why people think George bush makes sense!
Maybe it's not just a physical reading exercise that works this way, but also a speaking thing. Consider how many people understand

nukular
prostrate (when referring to the prostate)

Those are just two examples of mispronounced words with letters jumbled up or misspelled in pronounciation. I can't think of any others right now, but it always amuses me how people use these words that are a speaking version of a misspelled word, but they find their way into acceptable everyday speech on television.
