"Update: I've found a www page that tracked down the original demonstration of the effect of letter randomisation to Graham Rawlinson. Graham wrote a letter to New Scientist in 1999 (in response to a paper by Saberi & Perrot (Nature, 1999) on the effect of reversing short chunks of speech). You can read the letter here, or in a link to New Scientist, here. In it Graham says:
This reminds me of my PhD at Nottingham University (1976), which showed that randomising letters in the middle of words had little or no effect on the ability of skilled readers to understand the text. Indeed one rapid reader noticed only four or five errors in an A4 page of muddled text."
The site that has the quote above, has links there as well. The site also has versions in MANY other languages!

if you can read this you have a strange mind too.
can you read this? Only 55 people out of 100 can.
I couldn't believe that I could actually understand what I was reading.
The phenomenal power of the human mind, according to a researcher at Cambridge university, it doesn't matter what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be in the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without a problem.
This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but the word as a whole. Amazing huh? Yeah and always thought spelling was important!
