The rset can be a ttoal mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh?
I just think this is so cool. I had no idea spelling was so unimportant. Makes me wonder about all the people who claim they did poorly in school because they are partially dyslexic. Maybe the are partially dumb and lazy instead. Okay, that's a little too harsh, but I have a new opinion about reading now, and less sympathy for some people I know who claim dyslexia caused them to not be able to correct their children's homework.
