You don't need to learn how to spell

THE PHAOMNNEAL PWEOR OF THE HMUAN MNID


Aoccdrnig to a rseearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in what oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the only prmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

So what could this mean? :-

He cut his own bared.

 

[elgringo56]

I find that pretty interesting. And, from your writing, I have to say, it appears to be true. I suspect Ponsy will have a bit to say about this, though...

 

[Legacy 21301]

What do these words mean? :-

eaaabehiiilmnnrsssttm

eaeeimnnnrttt

 

[Legacy 21301]

And what about the ambiguities contained in the sentence below?
How would one know whether the word “three” meant “three” or “there”?

A Cnut ruled Eaglnnd in the eeelntvh cnutery but were three more Cnuts in Daemnrk?

Just shows you, Glaswegian is easier to learn than you thought................

 

[Travis]

What do these words mean? :-

eaaabehiiilmnnrsssttm

eaeeimnnnrttt

eaaabehiiilmnnrsssttm - the doctrine of supporting the social or political establishment
eaeeimnnnrttt - something diverting or engaging

 

[Legacy 21301]

I'll accept that as an approximation of the meanings and since you would have raed each wrod as a wlohe, you must have raed them wouthit a porbelm despite their being a taotl mses except for the frist and lsat ltleers being in the rghit pclae, if we are to believe the carp from some wrakens at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy.

I saw this text in 4 languages when I visited the Technopolis museum in Mechelen (Belgium) this summer. So it works in Dutch, French and German as well.

Now try to read this aloud (without thinking):
