It works in other languages too, but the only one on the page I can verify that on is Spanish.

It does not work in Hebrew, which is not surprising.

That 45% probably consists of the same people who think we fought the American Civil War in Vietnam.

of the 45% that can't read the misspelled paragraph, what is the percentage that can read the correctly spelled paragraph?

Easy but it seems to resemble the language Congress uses when writing those 1100 pg bills.

That's a great point! It makes it moot if they can't read a
properly spelled paragraph.
