Im not saying i am smart but let me try to read it...
I couldnt believe that i could actually understand what i was reading. The phenomenal power of the human mind, accourding to the research at Cambridge University, it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and the last letter are in the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without a problem. Because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but a word as a whole. Amazing huh? yeah and i always thought spelling was important....

How long did it take you to type that lot? It is normally believed that people who are dyslexic can type. Maybe there's a new form which only afflicts keyboard users.
Getting back to the ancient art of handwriting, I once read something to the effect that if you cut a line of handwriting horizontally in half, you can read it from the bottom half, but not from the upper half.
I still think spelling is important.

Spelling is still important as you can write FORM as FROM and EXPECT as EXCEPT.
(E.g. I picked up a from form the post office. I except you understand this, expect when spelt correctly)
This comes to mind without thinking of this issue.
There must be hundreds of other words which can cause this.

It actually turns out that you can read it even if the first and last letters are not in the correct place. I tried it and emailed it around to my friends. They had no problem reading it.

I cant read that cos im dyslexic. We read every letter rather than the word. Means we generally have better numaracy skills though!
