The interesting thing (I found) about the rearrangement of letters was that I could skim-read it perfectly well without actually analysing what was going on. This wasn't the case for the missing vowels or the backward words - in both cases there were words in the sentence that I could only recover by consciously applying the rule to the letters I could see.
It's a bit debateable in the case of the missing first letter, since "I" was the only word it applied to.
