in reply to OT (for now): Mis-spelling research

Here is something interesting that I found. It may not be of any interest, but it does concern the human brain and the way that words are spelled:

"Aoccdrnig to 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 a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe."

    Hooray!

      I wonder if that's where the guy that sent it to me pulled it from. Hhmmm....
