I thought this was pretty interesting . . .

The phaomnnehil pweor of the hmuan mnid.

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy (KU), 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.

smiply amzanig huh?

That's awesome! I got this in an email the other day:

Alzheimer's Test -- Count the "F's" in the following text:



FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-

SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-

IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE

EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...(see below)




Managed it ?
Scroll down only after you have counted them, okay?
Do you think there are three?






























How many ? 3?

Wrong, there are 6 !!--no joke.

Read it again.

The reasoning behind is further down.



The brain cannot process "OF".

Incredible or what ? Go back and look again!!

Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius.
Three is normal, four is quite rare.

Send this to your friends--it drives them crazy

Yeah, I thought I was clever too, acting like a "PHP search funtion" looking at each and every letter at a time and STILL got 3! What that crap? That's why we leave letter counts to PHP.

I actually had some trouble reading the topic at first, then I realised you spelled 'phenomenal' wrong (besides the scrambling obviously). It's bizarre that even when scrambled I can still spot mispellings. I need to go lie down...
