Very clever. Shows how once you reach a certain point with length and unfamiliarity of words, the "first letter" theory breaks down. Obviously a word like Aberystwyth, which even most educated readers would find unfamiliar and difficult to pronounce, becomes practically impossible when it is jumbled.

If you want to examine writing that is almost incomprehensible, pick up a modern-day school textbook that has been "dumbed down" to meet reading-level requirements. The words are simple, the sentences are short, the "grade level" comes out nice and low, and after a few sentences your mind is numb.
