Interesting

Susana sent this to me yesterday...we both find it very interesting.

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 itslef but the wrod as a wlohe.

Our discussion of this revolved around whether you had to be a fluent reader to completely understand it and if it would work in other languages. She is going to try writing it out in Spanish and seeing if her parents can read it...I am looking forward to the results of that one. Anyway, just wanted to share the weird and unusual with you today!
