Can you read this without problems:

Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a total 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.

I can, fascinating.

That's amazing. Read it with no problems.

De Lorimier · Sep 15, 2003

I can too and it is, indeed, fascinating. But it only works with words you already know. I couldn't read a really complicated biology text for example.

Wow.

That must mean I'm smart! Quite fascinating...

It's the same with piano players and music partitures.

It gets more difficult if the words don't form sentences, the context of a sentence helps you even more in reading it, after all that often makes it possible to understand a sentence although it contains a word you've never seen before.

Taht is Czray!

Looks like a post by spycatcher :ack:

Well, some people don't care how they spell.

In regards to this finding, I can read it, but it is slower going. Not much, but it is slower.

Very cool. :goodjob:

wouldn't it be "wouthit porbelms" instead of "wouthit porbelm".

Ack! Perfection already used the spelling joke! my post is ruined...ruined...

Read the paragraph with no problems. Pretty interesting.

insurgent · Sep 15, 2003

Interesting... :cool:

addiv · Sep 15, 2003

Yeah I can read it, but it has to be said that the letters are still a little bit in the original order (' rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy') so that makes it easier. ('rarceesh ta Cigambdre Ustirenivy' for example would be a lot harder to understand).
Still fascinating though.

Vinc · Sep 15, 2003

Read the paragraph without any problems, and English isn't my mother language! This is amazing! :eek:

Becka · Sep 15, 2003

That's so cool.

DON'T think she won't see this.

At least that fascinating fact will set us in good stead for when the noble English language becomes totally mangled by illiterate yokels who use '4' instead of 'for'...
