    Default Say What?

    I received this as an e-mail and thought this was pretty neat. It is amazing how the human mind can work.

    I cdnuolt blveiee

    phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at
    Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the
    ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the
    first and last ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a

    is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by
    istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh?

    I have no problem reading it once I "Broaden my vision"(if that makes sense).But I have to read it fast for it to be understandable.If I go into "Proofreader mode" (for lack of a better term) the misplaced letters are glaringly obvious.

    This reminds me of "night observation" techniques that I learned in the military. If you look just off center of something at night it is easier to see in the dark. Kind of the same principle here. Just don't look dead center at the word.

    This is how most of our kids spell today. They will change how we speak and spell.
    If you always do what you've always done...
    You'll always get what you've always gotten.

    No matter where you go...
    there you are.
