The Power of the Human Mind (Even Yours)
03.02.07 (10:02 am)   [edit]

This was emailed to me today: a little yummy from her inexhaustible bag o' tricks, a yummy that I believe was originally found on a Craigslist post:

"I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdgnieg. 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 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 Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe."

you could probably construct a paragraph made only from words where the exact ordering of the letters matters. at the moment, i can't smoosh my brain together in order to write a single word where the letter-order matters. so it goes.

I have seen it before and I am always amazed that I can read it so easily.
