The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae.

It's not fair for me as I've seen this so many times before and now I know it by heart!!! It's really amazing, isn't it, that our brains can do this? What I want to know is can someone with dyslexia read that passage since they tend to get letters backwards and already make visual and mental adjustments. People with dyslexia are amazing with how they cope and overcome this obstacle!! It would be interesting to hear from someone with dyslexia about this.

OK I don't feel so good about myself now. I showed this to my 12 year old and she also read it without a hitch ( well, alright she needed help with the word "Cambridge" but other than that...)
