Read this quickly.



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 a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Jsut amzanig huh?


I don't know if this is true or not but the idea behind it certainly does hold true. I can read this entire thing just as quickly and easily as any other paragraph. I was kind of amazed at just how little the letters in the midddle matter. I wonder how this pertains to dyslexia(sp?)?:crazy: :thumb:

Rev posted this a week or 2 back. It's still pretty cool though. I'm dyslexic so it all looks normal to me. :P

I figured it had probably been posted. I just saw it a couple days ago in an email and I didn't feel like searching through pages of random threads to see if it had or not. *shrugs*

I'm kind of interested at the applications of this in like speed reading. HA HA. I wonder if those people take words like at the spelling level and read them as they look like in the example above, and then piece together sentence ideas as they see like
blah blah noun blah blah verb blah.Do they just see noun verbs or what?
( by that I mean "ryan jumps" or "sue strips")
