and try scrambling that with your method
To be more precise

“yxx cxn xndxrstxnd whxt x xm wrxtxng xvxn xf x rxplxcx xll thx vxwxls wxth xn “x” ( t gts lttl hrdr f y dn't vn kn whr th vwls r).” [10]

I used this example from Steven Pinker's 'The Language Instinct' in an essay I wrote a few weeks ago on 'The limits of your language are the limits of your world.' Discuss with reference to at least one text.

I used Mrs Dalloway and Septimus's mental health as an example.

You're simplifying somewhat, but it's to do with redundancy and generative grammar structures within 'language', not 'we don't read all the letters'.
yeh, but it's harder then just scrambling the letters (except for the first and last)
