A Fine Example of Catoglyphics

An e-mail actually written by me today, for real:

“That is most excleetn! Did I tell you that tammy (friend thourhg gianna) had er baby!? It is very excitingJ bABY

Also, m brian is no long er able to contain finormation.

Also, I have lost the abibily to type

Also, I am hungry

These things are not necearly retaliated.”

What I meant to say was:

“Dear Gentle Reader,

Indeed, that would be an excellent book recommendation for me. Thank you so much for your kind thoughtfulness in all literary matters.

I must inquire, did I regale you with Tammy’s (a friend through Gianna’s acquaintance) good news? She gave birth to a healthy baby boy the day before yesterday and all is well. It really is quite thrilling.

By the by, I feel that I need to bring to light the fact that my brain is no longer able to contain any information whatsoever, and I have also lost any ability to type or to otherwise be coherent.

Also, in case it is of any interest to you, I am quite hungry.

Please do not be alarmed, as none of these things are actually interrelated and I don’t expect anyone to find this correspondence logical.

Best regards,

Cat”

It is not even WEDNESDAY, people!
