My defense for bieng a bad sepller

[Klompy]

I was just handed this by my roomate and went right through it without any problems, Can you read this just as fast as normal?

I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rseearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it whotuit a pboerlm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Azanmig huh?

No idea if this was actualy a study at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy but I still found it kinda cool.

It is a very well known study.

This is the first time anybody's ever brought this to my attention. I'm sorry if this is old news, but wasn't sure if everyone knew this or not.

It's not so much that the brain reads words as a whole, but phrases and sentences as a whole. If you just took:

Prulpe ddsavniguaoetas udnrecevheiar alppe dhsahwesir


you can't identify the words immediately because the phrase is meaningless.

Sorry I guess I'm behind the times, that doesn't change the fact that you didn't even do it right yourself.
