Aoccdrnig to rscheearch taem at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae.

WOW, that's really amazing! When I was learning sign language, one of my professors taught us fingerspelling (literally, spelling out words using your fingers). At first, we would try to read every letter, which makes about as much sense as reading English that way (we'd see a-p-p-l-e rather than 'apple'). Soon, he told us, we would learn to recognize the shape of the word and not need to separate every letter. I didn't really translate that in to the way written English works until now - that paragraph was easy to read, it's phenomenal how language works!
