Can you raed tihs? Olny 72 plepoe can.
i cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it whotuit a pboerlm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

I'm the 73'rd. I can read your article. Is about the importance of the first an the last letter of th word. The human mind read the word as a whole.

Only 72 people can read this? If you mean 72 out of 72 people that can read English, then I believe you. I would hardly say one would have a "strange mind" if they can read this, since nearly everyone who can read English can read this.

Apparently the first and last letter aren't the only important parts, but also the way in which they are jumbled or the type of words, I read somewhere once. It is pretty cool though and there is more info on the actual studies and scientific reasons out there on the web somewhere but it was ages ago I read it. Just saying you should look it up if you are interested :)

All those years of being a moderator and dealing with the poor spelling of noobs sure does have its benefits...

lol this is easy it says
i couldnt belive that i could acutaly understand what I was reading. The phnomnal power of the humen mind, according to a reschearch at cambridge university, it dosent matter in what order the letters of the 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 a problem. this is because the humen mind dose not read every letter by itself but the word as a whole. amazing huh? yeah and I always thought spelling was important
