Ha ha I love this! I was able to read the whole thing at pretty much normal pace... bizarre! The only word that had me pause for a second was sitll... I think my brain immediately read sit and ignored the extra two l's!

One has to wonder whether we can read it because we have been so well 'programmed'... would we still be able to read it if we already had very poor 'spelling'?
It's interesting (to me) that a lot of very, very intelligent people (i.e. engineers) cannot spell properly.
The brain is a fascinating thing!
