Can You Raed Tihs?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.
Of course, geeks write scripts for this kind of stuff. The scrmable perl script written by Jamie Zawinski is excellent, even the variable names are scrambled.
Bitdamaged wrote a PHP equivalent, which can also be tested.

Of course, I guess that makes sense, based on my understanding of how we read and speak in general.
I've got to wonder how well this would work with languages using other, not necessarily alphabetic writing systems... Japanese, Korean (it's kinda alphabetic), Chinese, and such.
