Misspelling is on purpose - read on ...
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 inwaht 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 thought slpeling was ipmorantt.
Editor's Note (Joshua): By inputting a portion of the above into a search engine, it appears that this article has been going the rounds in many different sites for a number of years. According to one website, no such study was ever made at Cambridge Univerty. True or not, it would be nice to find out the source for proper crediting. Anybody knows? The amazing readability of the above article, even though it is jumbled up and "full of spelling mistakes" makes one think again about the subject of spelling, especially in relation to Edenics. Isaac Mozeson correctly makes a point in "The Origin Of Speeches" about how one should not put too much weight on spelling (or something to that effect).
