ORIGINAL: willing2serve 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 at 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. Amzanig huh? http://www.simplebits.com/notebook/2004/01/16/mipellssed_wdors.html I posted something similar a while back, omitting the claim that it was a study by any specific university or organisation and instead saying "I read somewhere that." It was a fun thread but one of our posters, whose contributions I always found valuable, was simply in tears admitting that she was dyslexic and mortified that she couldn't read it. It did serve to pull me back into my truth, which is that while I also hate wading through something so poorly written that it hurts to read I also do not wish to alienate those who have genuine difficulties due to disabilities. These people can be some incredible contributors with a wealth of knowledge of things I can't understand because I have not walked their path. I suspect, however, that I am in agreement with much of what the original poster was referring to (or perhaps who he was referring to). Even now, knowing he was pulling chains, I can say that I wasn't crazy about his delivery.
