| I have seen this or similar exercise years ago and after the talk about spell checkers, I thought it might be fun to put it here. You will surprise yourself with what you can read...... have fun.
Arocdnicg to rsceearch 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 are in the rghit pcale. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit pobelrm. Tihs is buseace the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.
I am not inferring that anyone here is guilty of this skill level of spelling, but .... just goes to show that we all probably are able to read the ideas being communicated to us. Don't be bashful about your spelling. |

| Hey Gary you missed an "a" in between "without" and "problem". I mean, "wouthit" and "pobelrm". |

| It looks like they had the correct spelling for the all of the words before they permuted the in-between letters. I wonder what percentage of the in-between letters could be incorrect before the mind started having trouble... (assuming that the new incorrect thing didn't spell a new word) |

| That would have been a great test... why did you stop? Of course, I can't say the word spelled correctly. Very funny... |
