Judges’ remarks:

It is interesting how well smeonoe can raed txet wtih lots of tyops in it. How well can you raed porg.c, C prgoarm that is in the shpae of an SD card (or is it a pnuch crad)?

BTW: this funny reading of English (which also works with several other languages) is called typoglycemia (the article however is incorrect in stating that if the letters were more jumbled or if other words were formed one could not read it: we know of some who can in fact do exactly that). Also, to be clear, there was no such study stated in input.txt but as you’ll likely see you should be able to do exactly what it says nonetheless.

Author’s remarks:

Letter Mixer

Compile and try this:

    cat input.txt | ./prog

The program can work with letters that are not represented in English, as long as these letters are encoded in the higher part of the single-byte character set (use iconv to convert from UTF-8 and back).
