indeed. When Primary 1 kids are first taught to read, they don't spell out the individual letters in a word, they are taught to recognise the whole word in the context of the sentence, because this is how the brain learns. If the whole sentence invokes a picture of a fishing trip for example, then the brain will read 'carp'. If the sentence is is a Frosty Jack post for example, the brain will naturally read it is as 'crap'...
p.s. Happy Birthday, btw...
