What is <strong>the</strong> intuiLon behind s 2 <br />

seeming more similar? <br />

We can write s1 and s2 in a way that juxtaposes more <br />

idenLcal characters than s1 and s3: <br />

s 1 = ASLVN-DK!<br />

s 2 = A-LVNKDK!<br />

s 2 = A LVN DK <br />

s 1 = ASLVNDK!<br />

s 3 = AFPSTW-!<br />

s 3 = A <br />

These juxtaposiLons are called alignments.
