I wish I could give credit to the person who wrote this, but there was no author in the email. I've seen this before but forgot to share it in here.

This is one of the many tricks to speed reading. They teach you to look at the frsit & lsat letetr of a word and your brain will fill in the rest. Pretty cool.

If you can read this, you have a strange mind too
Can you raed tihs? Olny 68 plepoe can. (Now 104)

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 dseno't mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it whotuit a pboerlm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt! if you can raed tihs forwrad it.

Got 100% on this exercise but then again my IQ score which was 140 said I was a 'Word Warrior.' Now I know why.

Hahahaha....

Having been able to read this quite easily just confirms what many say about me -

"That 'europa' speaks a load of 'gibberish' most of the time.........."

How cool to be able to read this. It was easy and fun. I think I'm going to copy it and let my sister, the teacher, show it to her 4th graders. See what happens. I'll let you all know.

Hey, gals, as long as you don't take this as an excuse to not watch your correct spelling [Big Grin] !

[Confused] It's kind of interesting to figure out something like this. I'd seen something to the same effect passed around in Spanish.
