Well, I wouldn't say it was easy! It threatens to give me a headache and I had to go over some stuff to make sense of it!

Pretty neat, eh? I don't think I'll worry about spelling so much from now on!

I read it easy.
Then again, I never learned to read phonetically - having a bit of a hearing loss makes that kind of hard!

I only read it slightly slower than I normally would. Interesting.
