    “I couldn’t believe I could actually understand what I was reading. The phenomenal power of the human mind, according to a 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 itself, but the word as a whole. Amazing huh? Yeah and I always thought spelling was important! If you can read this repost it.”

    The funny thing is, I’ve been chatting online with my functionally illiterate friends for so many years that it didn’t have any trouble whatsover with it. Well, the word “rpsoet” was a little confusing for a few seconds, but I got it. :D
