Rdnieag Sbramlecd Wrods

An interesting side-story on slashdot says:

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 it slef but the wrod as a wlohe.

I'd be inclined to disagree were it not for the fact that I found it alarmingly easy to read that paragraph. The more I find out, the more amazed I am at the workings of the brain.
