INTERESTING FACT

Seen this before, but still - awesome :)

this is true but you cant read as quite as fast because with words spelled correctly your brain can assume whats coming next where as with this your brain has to read word for word.

Funny :)

Well, this only works because our brain actually predicts what the next word would be based on our observation and experience with the language. The 1st and last letters only aid us in making sure that the word we've predicted is infact correct. Just for fun, try reading this one:
Cmabrigde lsat mttaer waht in aoccdrnig ltteer to a rscheearch Uinervtisy at in deosnt oredr the ltteers it witren in and pclae a wrod are tihng the olny iprmoatnt is the frist be taht the rghit

There's no cambridge research for this thing in fact.

rellay cool tinhg !!!

old nwes but i tinhk its slitl aswome

Nwo Taht Is Vrey Itnresgni

if you don't know the English language... do you think this still applicable... :)

Ive ayalws kwonn tihs, but its slitl cool emetiyrve I raed it.

I tihnk Cbmagdrie's rarcsreeh has its bihgrt sdie. Jsiagw was rhgit wehn he ronesaed taht if the leretts wree wetrin in a way taht deos not mkae snees it wluod be headrr for us to raed the seencetns at nmraol seped. But tihs is sltil ieetnitnsg and who kwons we can laren mroe aubot tihs in the frutue.

I'm certain this doesn't apply to long words however. Occasionally you'll see something like
"lpdoaobseorniuiaus", which is too long for your vision to clearly capture all the letters at once, so your brain has to analyze it in components (ie. syllables) which no longer exist.

Well, I think you are using a non common word witch is hare to read even it is correctly spelled.

By the way, this is a really interesting fact.

Actually, this really is due to our familiarity and usage of english. If you do this with random words that don't make a sentence, or really long words, its very hard. our brain predicts what's next, but there has to be a proper sentence, or very familiar words. JIGSAW, that's very true, though it is possible to read that (slowly though), because we've already read the actual sentence. But this is quite interesting!

So what does 'witren' stand for then? :)

I read this just as fast as i would read normal text, and i'm not a genius. Just a 22year old student from South Africa

This is really cool i wish there was a book were all the words are written like this.

As someone stated, this really doesnt work with longer words, or if you move the letters too far away from their original place. For example:

I jmuepd out of an aliarpne wtih my ptcaharue.

Or:

I wluod lkie to put tihs in my cetinnoar.

As you can see, parachute and container no longer flow, and they get completely lost. Even airplane becomes rough. God help you if someone did this with perpendicular.
