Can you read this? If you can you are normal.
I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch taem at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy,the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteers be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl 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. Such a cdonition is arppoiately cllaed Typoglycemia -
Amzanig huh? Yaeh and you awltas thought slpeling was ipmorantt!
What this reads:
I couldent beleive that I could aculalty understand what i was reading. The phanomenl power of the human mind, according to a research team at cambridge university, it doesnt matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter 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 as a whole. such a condition is apparently called Typoglycemia.
in other words:
your brain takes in all the letters in a word. it will automaticaly sort them in the correct order, as long as the first letter and last letter are in the correct place
