I understood them all except #4.

Interesting mind exercise.

[Atom]

Because of definition 3.a, I suppose that it could be construed that #4 could make sense, but it's position of importance is below even secondary, and it's one that I never think of when I hear the word "crossroad", I think of the primary definitions. Now, I may be missing something, that's always possible.

cross·road [kraws-rohd, kros-] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun 1. a road that crosses another road, or one that runs transversely to main roads.
2. a by-road.
3. Often, crossroads. (used with a singular or plural verb)
a. the place where roads intersect.
b. a point at which a vital decision must be made.
c. a main center of activity.

edit:Ok cancel that, I overlooked "by-road" and just looked it up and see that #4 qualifies to make sense by definition #2. Still not the primary definition, but they all make sense to me now. Nice one.

it has been proven that when reading you do not see all letters only the word.

All your examples are a little off the original research, the research showed that if you took a word and jumbled up all the letters but left the first and last letters intact then you would have no trouble comprehending the word.

eg

the qicuk borwn fox jupemd oevr the lzay dog

by writing the words backwards etc it is not possible to just 'read' it as normal, at least that is my understanding.

Science has also proven that because we read from left to right, if you interrupt the line of the eye in your advertising / marketing / article then you loose 60% of comprehension. eg, having a heading that goes down instead of across.

The post appears homemade, to me. I don't know if it is. It would be interesting to know.
