Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

Does this apply to all languages?
Was there any information as to whether that other languages were tested?

The article didn't mention any other languages than English. But I suspect that it works the same in any language that uses our alphabetical system of letters and spaces.
I doubt greatly that languages like Japanese or Chinese would work the same...Chinese people have to learn something like 4,000 characters to be considered literate, and that's not even half of them.
It would be interesting to see if it works in Thai, since the letters dictate strictly what the pronounciation is, and there are 56 of them...

Talk about the law of unintended consequences -- the human mind's capacity to understand the misspellings is ALSO what lets spam get through
