In defence of bad spelling

[Photographer]

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 deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl 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? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!

As Ralph Wiggum said 'Fail English? That's unpossible...'

Seems many folks on here are aware of that fact because we see it all the time.

Maybe not as much as you did though...

Funny enough, if you scan your eyes across it quickly, the brain does seem to take it in surprisingly well. I find I can read that almost as fast as I can read properly spelled text.

Yay for top-down perception!

OK, folks, throw away your dictionary. People can read what you write anyway.

My eyes and brain hurt. Bad Cosmicfish go back to school.

What'd that say? Something about sandwiches?

Probably.
