I was reading Slashdot tonight, and found something pretty interesting. It seems that you are able to read scrambled words so long as the first two letters of the word are in place.

From the languagehat site: '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. ceehiro.'

How cool is that.

Please note, I found this on slashdot, which found this on another blog, which found this on another blog, etc, etc.
Gotta love the internet.
