I got this in e-mail and had to laugh at all of us who say we're inept at the grammar part of our writing:
I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdgnieg 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.

Okay. So that's just wierd...and the fact that I only actually stumbled over a couple of words is just too freakish for me.

LA,
I thought the same thing!! I may even have read it faster than normal.
All these years I've been griping that my kids aren't learning how to spell and it doesn't even matter! |

What about words like these:
berad -- bread, beard, bared
wreid -- wired, weird
teird -- tired, tried
I guess you have to know the whole context of the sentence to know which word it is. |

Thanks, Gloria, for coming to the Spelling Bee's rescue. I was beginning to think he was a goner.
