I know, it's one of those dumb email forwards, but I thought it was pretty interesting. I read it just fine the first time I saw it.
Kinda looks like a lot of the posts here.

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy,
it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod
are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht frist and lsat ltteer
is at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and
you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we
do not raed ervey lteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe.

And if it's a repost, deal with it. :p

isn't it because we're taught by phoenics (however the hell you spell it, lol, the irony) which teaches grouped sounds instead of letter placement?

I actually managed to read it right!

I wonder why I sometimes cannot read when things are written the RIGHT way!

That is interesting.
Especially that we can read it just fine even when they not only mix up the letters but put the wrong letters in words like important.
By the way, what is "a research".
Last I checked, it wasn't a noun.

I think we read more by recognizing patterns of letters put together to form words instead of pronouncing them out...
at least that's what I come to gather when I get mild cases of dyslexia. When I see a word I "recognize it" it as something else sometimes, so I have to go back and "read" it to make sure when the sentences don't make sense...
