Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht frist and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by itslef but the wrod as a wlohe.

(I just read this somewhere and it amazed me...read the whole thing before I really noticed that the letters were jumbled..just thought I'd share it)

Or indeed Ofxrod.

Anyway, you didn't literally have to post this. You wanted to. If it was my site, I'd close this right now.

But then I'm a grammatical killjoy.

There are quite a few spelling and grammar mistakes in this text AND the letters are mixed up and I'm still able to make something out of it... the human mind keeps amazing me k:

Yes, it was 'Cbamdgrie'. I have read that in three different languages long time ago, and about two weeks ago I saw that same text written on post-it which was sticked on door of my cousins refrigerator.
