I thought this was pretty cool. O lny srmat poelpe can raed tihs. cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. 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 tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!

That's a pretty amazing discovery. I'd heard that it was the outline of the word that an individual recognizes, not necessarily the letters. But this finding seems to state that brain has more capability than that.Or maeyb, we jsut raed too mcuh bda sleplnig in froums and in eiaml and hvae geottn uesd to it.

that is awesome! It's crazy how natural it is. But what happens if the word is like more than 7 or 8 letters. It probably gets a lot harder.
