Only smart people can read this.

I couldn’t believe that I could actually understand what I was reading. The phenomenal power of the human mind, according to research at Cambridge University, it doesn’t matter in 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 letter, but the word as a whole. Amazing huh? Yeah and I always thought spelling was important! If you can read this pass it on!!

Very cool, indeed!

Not only was I able to read it, but I read it and typed the correct spelling (above) at the same time. It only took me less than 2 minutes. (I’m a fast typer! lol) The brain is an unbelievable thing! Oh, by the way, the context of the paragraph also helps you to decipher quickly and easily each word.

Very cool, indeed!

I’ve seen that before. The explanation is that the mind reconstructs the words automatically. It really is a lot easier to read than you’d think.

Does that mean we don’t have to spell right anymore?

Yeah… I’ve seen this before and think it’s really cool. I actually put it on my neice’s birthday card, just to prove she’s just as normal as the rest of us (assuming we are).

Thanks for sharing it on answers 🙂
