with the advent of sms or txt messaging where in almost a single letter can mean a three letter word is no wonder. so not really new to it but yeah it is sort of strange actually. greetings. : )

i guess each and everyone can read this. i got this mail as "ONLY 2% of persons in this world can read this"...but i feel that everyone can read this.but anyway it is very interesting.so complex is the functioning of our brain.

i couldn't believe that i could actually understand what i was reading. The phenominal power of the human mind, according to research at Cambridge University , it doesn't matter in which order the letters in the word are,the only important thing is thatthe first and last letter be in the right place.The rest can be total mess and u 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 the spelling was important if u can read this repost it. yes i udernstood hahahahaha

Amazing but true, we can read betwen the lines no matter how u joggle the letters, as logn as u dotn add anything unnecessary its so easy to read.

I've seen that before, and when I stopped to think about it, I do read fairly quickly and it makes sense that my brain only really registers the first and last letter in their places, the ones in the middle can be in any order.

That's really neat! I didn't realize that's how our minds read words.
