" I would be interested in how the original passage I posted was perceived

parallel phenomena in their first language." DCunningham
No problem when/while reading the passages posted in that "word brief
writting" (antecipating the words - and, sometimes, the referents which they
"point to").
I have the impression that this is something we all had to deal with - since
internet written interactions (synchronical and assynchronical ones) became
part of our lives. Sometimes the key you press or type is not the right one.
Others you type a key and the key is not "registered" by the machine. This
usually begins happen when we become typing faster and faster... We "eat"
letters, put some where/when it is not necessary.
Maybe we're developing a kind of "visual thinking" constrained by this
"pression" to be "there", to go "on the run" - but always caught by the web
and its hypertextuallity.
