Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae.

The rset can be a total 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.

This could be some old chain mail that everyone's seen, but it's new to me. I thought some of you spelling and grammar nazis might enjoy this.

You could go to snopes or google and find out you're wrong. Or you could take my word for it.

huh, find out you're wrong? Even if it wasnt some college study, it's obviously still true.

I bet you had trouble with the (mispelled) words "cabinet", "stairs" and "tower" in there (which I inserted randomly) because out of context you wouldn't expect them so you can't read them nearly as easily as words you expect.
