As I quoted last week:
"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 it slef but the wrod as a wlohe".
It's all good.

According to a so-called study at Cambridge University, it doesn't matter what order the letters are in, the only important thing is the position of the first and last letters. "The human mind does not read every letter, but the word as a whole.

Yes. Actually studies have been conducted to support the fact that if you leave the first and last letters the same, you can mix up all the letters in-between.
Tihs is buecase we raed the wrod as a wlohe, not lteter by lteter.
Pretty neat, huh?

Research has shown that our brains focus on words as a whole, not as individual letters. As long as the first and last letters of a word is in the correct place, the rest can be a jumbled mess and we'll still understand it.

Yes i can understand what it says. Researchers say that if the first and last letter of the word is in the right place, our minds can read it!

As is so often the case, this is answerable with the twin powers of Snopes / Straight Dope:
