Couldn't believe that I could ***** understand what I was reading. The phenonemonal power of the human mind, according to research at Cambridge University, it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last lette be in the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without a problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but the word as a whole. Amazing huh? Yeah and I always thought spelling was important.

Wow I'd really like to find this study from Cambridge University. lol

And yes I can read it.

[O Town]

Yup I could.......interesting

They gave out something similar to the parents in a learn to read coarse the had for kindergarten, and 1st graders at my kids school. But it was not that easy to read. It was showing us how they see the words since they have never read before.

[Swimdude]

Yup, I learned about that in 7th grade. And again in 7th grade. And AGAIN in 7th grade. In fact, I can't tell you how many forwarded emails i've recieved with that exact message.
