How are your spelling skills?

I pride my self on my ability to spell correctly. Often my grammar may be questioned, but seldom my spelling.

When I first saw this, I just couldn’t believe that someone would purposely put something like this together. I’m not sure of the validity of the Cambridge Study, but I am amazed at how easily I could read this.

Gives new meaning to “Hookd on Foniks werkd 4 me!”

Typoglycemia: Don’t skip over this because it looks weird. Believe it or not you can read it.

I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid. Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer inwaht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt 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. Amzanig huh? yaeh and I awlyas thought slpeling was ipmorantt.

Let me know what you think. Bad spelling accepted.

4. Grammer?? Should be ‘grammar’ but never mind. However, the spelling thing is interesting whether it originaled from Cambridge or not!

5. Well, it just goes to show you, it takes many to find a spelling error. Although I did say that my spelling is SELDOM questioned. Annette caught it. Thanks Annette. I made the correction.

   Hooah!!
