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.

I tnihk terhe are smoe fwlas in taht trhoey.

Wow,that was actually really interesting :)

Funnily enough i did have no problem reading that.

[edit] i had trouble reading this :
Taht is talltoy Cool how taht Wekrod! I tnihk it's Azmanig!

Though i had no problem interpreting this :
I tnihk terhe are smoe fwlas in taht trhoey.

I have a thoery about the reason we can read this.

It`s because when reading humans can automatically evaluate the sentence and predict what might come next.

e.g. Have you ever been reading a book and a sentence has gone over to the next page,even though you haven`t read it yet you can guess what the next words might be.This helps us interpret the mixed up letters.
It`s just a thoery,no need to flame plzkkthx

Or because, as stated, we look at the first and last letter and march onward... :b

I have issues with this - for example, if I'm reading a book and two characters have very similar names, I spend the entire novel mixing their names up because I'm not reading letter by letter. Drives me nuts.

Darned authors! Be more creative!

Taht is vrey etnertianing. I was qitue amaezd taht my brain wroks lkie tihs.

I think vowel placement impacts it, that's why mines was harder to read.

Liper is right on here. It's been repeatedly shown that people can read 'pronounceable' combinations (even if they make no sense) far more quickly than 'unpronounceable' ones (such as when the vowels are all jammed up together, etc. In any case, I had no problem reading any of those sentences at normal speed, which I found quite amusing... :)
