Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a total mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig!
====================
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 at the right place. the rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but the word as a whole.
Amazing!

    It is amazing indeed. By the way, how did you guys go with the Chinese teaching site?

    This was funny- good to be reminded of… and that we can “speed read” much easier than thought!

      Yup, our brain is simply fascinating! I was just reading an article on artificial intelligence and I thought to myself, computers can understand that paragraph like us humans.
