I couldnt help but read such large print

One thing Cambrigde University did not mention (at least based on what you've said) about the way people learn is that with enough experience reading, the brain is able to speed through a word and read only its first and last letters to then assume the appropriate letters that remain that would more than likely make up the appropriate word. This same process hold true for individuals who have mastered speed reading; their eyes dash through sentences and only read the beginning and ending words, giving the person enough information to fill in the rest of the sentence.

 

Just for kicks, here's a little message I got just last night:
