The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid. Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch
at

Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in
a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer

be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll
raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

Amzanig huh? yaeh and I awlyas thuohgt spleling was ipmorantt !

It's funny that you posted this. I'm just starting to study the basic cognitive operations behind language, and this very example was used. Fun stuff.

For the life of me...I cannot figure out what that says. My brain is tired.

You did not follow the rules Lord.

Yeah, I didn't put the first letter and the last letter where they belong... :?

"so wtah's taht say for us fremor sneliplg-bee cahpms? Etlcaxly my pinot..." too easy

There's a more formal example that I've seen a couple times that mentions that the first and last letter are the most important. There are other rules and concepts that apply, I just can't seem to remember them right now. I'll poke around and see if I can find the text I'm talking about.

Here you go....

Acocdrnig to an elgnsih unviesitry sutdy the oredr of
letetrs in a wrod dosen't mttaer, the olny thnig
thta's iopmrantt is that the frsit and lsat ltteer of
eevry word is in the crcreot ptoision. The rset can be
jmbueld and one is stlil able to raed the txet wiohtut
dclftfuiiy.
