The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht 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.

It's actually from Edinburgh, not Cambridge, and the claim they make is not as strong as the claim made by the much circulated paragraph. btw - all the people who psas it on don't seem to mind the grammatical error..

Could not 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.

Important !

If you can read this pass it on!!
