I’ll have to find the original source of this. A friend sent this on:
Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht frist and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe.
this is why i never correct my typos in chat or icq!
So glad to see this posted. I had run into something similar a few years back and wanted to show it to a friend of mine. It is really amazing when you think about it. Discovering this is one reason why the whole language approach to teaching reading became so popular.
