I Put a Spell on You
A few weeks ago I posted my thoughts on spelling and its importance. According to a recent My Space bulletin, I’m way off.
P.S. I would like to add that I found a spelling mistake in the bulletin (one word has an extra letter). If you can find it, too, I’ll give you a cookie.
Can you read this? Only 185 people on My Space can so far.
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 yhou 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 tghuuhot slpeling was ipmorantt! If you can raed tihs rpsoet it.
