Olny srmat poelpe can raed tihs.

I cdnuolt blveiee that I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd what I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in what 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? Yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!

Interesting, i'm usually one who cringes when a word is spelled incorrectly, but i could understand the paragraph. Actually i had to kind of unfocus my eyes to avoid seeing the individual letters. i also had to say it out loud. It's a little like doing the cryptoquotes in the newspaper.
