The Human Mind

By Byron LaMasters

This is bizarre, but I had absolutely no trouble reading this:

The paomnnehel pweor of the hmuan mnid.

Aoccdrnig to a 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 in 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.

Fcuknig Amzanig huh?

Hm. Well, it might be more amazing if more of the words were more thoroughly scrambled. Most of the words kept groupings of letters where you'd expect them to be:

Cmabrigde, for example.

I do also find it funny that some of the words are misspelled when you arrange the letters right.
