You are an asbolute ginues too.

I received the following very interesting text recently:


 


 


I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdgnieg!
Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht
oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat
ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll
raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey
lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe..

Amzanig huh?


 


This, however, should not be taken either as a licence or an excuse for abominable spelling!


 


 


 


This is just a very quick posting for general interest.


 


 


For those of you who could not read the above (go back to school! J)


 


 


 


The human mind has fantastic power


Proof of this power is in front of you


If you can read this – without a shower –


You are an absolute genius too.


 


 


 


I couldn’t believe that I could actually understand what I was reading!
According to a 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
letter be in the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still
read it without problem. This is because the human mind does not read every
letter by itself, but the word as a whole.

Amazing huh?

This is most enjoyable, Peter!

However, being a multi-linguist like you, you can imagine what kind of difficulties I had. This just proves, that it is sometimes difficult to know more languages than one. I had to cheat to find out what "sohwer" was.

I personally love looking at the printed word in a mirror...its a fun way to read, as well as upside down...hehe I've always played word games like that, including one where you take a sentence and say it can only contain so many letters or words with only so many letters, how many sentences can you write with say, 13 or 25 letters? BTW...13 and 25 are the numbers you get when you count back and fourth on your fingers...It can hypnotize you when the dentist is drilling!! I know...I have to go to the dentist with a mouthful of valium and my will written!!! Hehe...

How profoundly interesting!
And I agree wholeheartedly with one not taking this as license
"for abominable spelling."
So often, it seems, a poet's (and even some publishers) words
make me cringe with the spelling. Although Spell Checker is not
perfect...shouldn't it be an option for ALL writers?
