Just found this little tidbit on another forum and wanted to share it here. It shows some of the mystery of how the mind works.
The phaomnneil pweor of the hmuan mnid.
Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a total mses and you
can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Taths petrty cool!

i dont think that is quite right. High speed photography of the eyes while reading, has proven that no matter how fast we read, we read through the word. When letters are mixed up, the eyes do not read thru the word but stop and start. the brain does tend to fill in and correct but reading is definately hampered and, most importantly, the "rhythm" of reading and language is interrupted and we do not get meaning as readily.

yeah, it worked for me - and is this how dyslexics 'see' words I wonder ? I'm dyscalculic - dyslexic by numbers  - and this theory doesn't work with numbers, I see them like that all the damn time ! Dave
