I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid ! Aoccdrnig to rscheearch taem at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteers be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl 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. Such a cdonition is arppoiately cllaed Typoglycemia

Brian, I was suprised the first time when I saw this done!! I could read it probably faster with better comprehension than if it had been done correctly /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

I must have issues?? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

BTW, I'll bet it took you forever to type this incorrectly /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I've seen this before as well, it is amazing. It's also why all caps is so hard to read. We tend to recognize the "shape" of a word more than the spelling and the all caps throws off that "shape" /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

So do we spell words through an entirely different mechanism/method ?

I was curious as to where this really came from, and it looks to be an internet myth of undetermined origin. Using various search engines, I could find no Cambridge study,

Snopes link on spelling

That's funny, with my infantile, poor typing skills, I tend to REALLY use the backspace to try to correct myself.

Now, comes the hard part of trying to break THAT habit!

bczoom,

Yep that's hard to intentionally misspell your text! /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif


All that schoolin down the drain.

We gotta keep those kids from finding out! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif They'll never take spelling seriously again! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
