Originally posted by smw6869i couldn't believe that I could actually understand what I was reading. The phenomenal power of the human mind, accoding to a research at Cabmrigde University, it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only imortant thing is that the first and last letter be in the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it whithout a problem. This is because the human mnid does not read every letter by itself, but the word as a whole. Amazing huh? yeah and I always thought speling was important!

That might have something to do with dyslexia, no?
I've one or two dyslexic friends and have noticed that whenever they misspelled words, or when they were reading, they either got the first letter right and made spelling mistakes later in the word, or when they were reading would replace the written word with a word of the same first letter, or a very similar word. It was as if they had all the words there, but were seeing or writing the first letter and 'guessing' the rest. As if their brain was in a rush.
Is there any link? maybe this unscrambling thing could just be in overdrive in people with dyslexia? Just an interesting thought I had.
