Can you read the truth that lies behind these misspelled words?


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. Azanmig huh? Yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!


I got this from my online community site.

By the way, I’m a psychologist and I study perception and recognition of words. This is a scholarly material. It’s not a joke.  wink

First graders memorize the shape of words. Purple becomes people, follow becomes flower, not to mention the obvious words like begin/began, come/came, etc.
