Word Recognition: How Our Brain Reads Letters
I cdnuolt blveiee
taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg.
The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid
Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy,
it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are,
the olny iprmoatnt tihng is
taht the first and last ltteer be in the rghit pclae.
The rset can be a taotl mses and you can still raed it wouthit a porbelm.
This is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by
istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.
Amzanig huh?
What the above text says:
I couldn't believe
that I could actually understand what I was reading.
The phenomenal power of the human mind.
According to research at Cambridge University,
it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are,
the only important thing is
that the first and last letter be in the right place.
The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without a problem.
This is because the human mind does not read every letter by
itself, but the word as a whole.
Amazing, huh?

Looks like an awesome secret code ;). The brain is an amazing thing!
That is cool. Lots of love Jinxi Boo.
I was actually half way through it when I noticed that things weren't as they should be..... I'm not sure what that says about my brain lol! Awesome as always doll!
I'm dyslexic, or cixelsyD, lol, so that was almost easier than reading the letters as they should be, haha. Very cool!
Someone needs to re-write a David Foster Wallace book this way, then I could get through the whole thing, lol.
