    Strange....!

    Don't delete this
    just because it looks weird. Believe it or not, you can read
    it.



    I cdnuolt blveiee
    taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The
    phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at
    Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the
    ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the
    first and last ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a
    taotl mses and you can still raed it wouthit a porbelm. This
    is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by
    istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh?

    The power of the minds eye. It's quite impressive isn't it?

    I've seen this before, the brain subconsciously makes these corrections. This is partly because we don't actually read words in their entirety, looking at the shape, letter arrangement or letter content of a word is enough to be able to interpret it.

    Of course, this ability can sometime be a hindrance when proof reading a document for example.
    Sometimes it needs a "fresh pair of eyes" to pick out spelling errors or typos that you were unable to find even after repeated readings.

      never set your expectations to high that way you are never disapointed

        I bet several people still miss the extraneous "h" in the word research...

        It's not better than sex, but it runs it a close second.
