The power of the human brain...

The pweor of the hmuan mnid

Aoccdrnig to rscheearch codnutced at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are tpyed, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit oedrer. The rset can be a total mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh?

That looks amazingly similar to some communiqués I get from students (in a hurry? not paying attention? dyslexic?) so it's a good job we do have the power to interpret information beyond strict ordering of letters <grin>
