Word Order

I found this on Sarah McAuley's blog, Smoke and Ashes, and I think it's fascinating because it seems to be absolutely true (I hope she doesn't mind me posting it here)

"Aoccdrnig to a 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 porbelm.
Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but
the wrod as a wlohe."


P.S. Hey! Maybe that's the secret to speed reading...?
