I 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 inwaht 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 thought slpeling was ipmorantt!


Well, it seems that maybe War was just proving the 'phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid' all along?
oh come on, does anyone believe that, even a little?I sure as hell don't.

Well I can read that perfectly fine, except the word "mses", meaning mess obviously. I just had to stop there, I assume because of the ses at the end of the word, looking more like messes or something.

Probably true for most people, but there will always be those who can't do it. So y'know, who the hell cares, it's just a lot easier to intentionally (or even otherwise) spell things correctly. Pisses a lot less people off.

It's not typos that people care so much about I've noticed, they're easily understandable. It's more "l33t" that pisses everybody off.

yes it's easy to read. I think the reason mess mses is harder is beacause the double ss is sort of like 1 letter, germans even do have a letter for it.

Cambridge never did this study; nor any other college institution. It's just a clever chain email.
