Hvae yuo seen tihs bfreoe?

October 24th 2006 06:59
We all laern to raed, but not mnay of us raeilse how wlel we atcaully read.

As yuo cna see thsee wrods are seplt inocrerctly, but as lnog as the frist and lsat lteters are in palce, we can sitll mkae out the wrods. It's a solwer rdaeing porcses but I fuond it inetrseting taht we can atcaully do tihs.

It was discovered at Cambridge University that our minds do not read a word letter by letter, instead we read words as a whole complete word. Although your reading skills would have to be average or better to read this, it is possible for people with below average reading skills to do so as well.


Another interesting fact is that the speed you can read this depends on the speed you read normally. I found this extremely interesting, what are your thoughts?

Really, sad isnt it. Indictment on our education system, hear on all these current affair shows that a lot of kids in high school still dunno how to spell properly.

To be honest, during my high school years I did not have the best grammar and punctuation. I still don't have the writing skills I would like to have, even though English was one of my best subjects during school.

These days, spelling just seems to be getting more and more simplified for younger people. Slang words and 'txt msg' language seem to be more appealing then actually taking the time to spell correctly.

As soon as I saw the title. But you've amended it! The original text I saw was much longer.

One of my favourite email from around 2003.
