Amazing, I'd say, quite amazing.
And I don't even have English as my mother tongue, and yet I could read it without much difficulties.

I wonder if it works the same way in Swedish too? I'll try.

I've heard of this but actually never saw it executed in a whole paragraph before. Interesting... it does work.

this should work in all languages which use the standard alphabet, due to how the brain reads and translates what the eye sees.

not sure about others like japanese, chinese which use symbols rather than letters though.

Cool. However, some of the trick comes down to the fact that your mind instantly sets itself to a different mode. It quickly realises that all the letters in most words are jumbled up, hence it interprets all the words clearly.

What happens if only some of the letters are jumbled up? Not as easy to read...

Couldn't blveiee that I cluod actually understand what I was rdanieg. The phenomenal pweor of the human mnid, according to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde University, it deosn't matter in waht order the ltteers in a wrod are, the only iprmoatnt thing is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mess and you can sitll raed it without a porbelm. This is bcuseae the human mnid deos not raed every letter by istlef, but the word as a wlohe. Amzanig huh? Yeah and I always tghuhot spelling was ipmorantt! If you can read tihs pass it on !!

Nothing amazing, but just a thought anyway.

Well, actually I could read this one much faster then the previous one posted. Perhaps, because of the fact that I was reading almost the same text second time.

And it's not only English, in which this is possible. In Latvian language it is also possible, though in English it seemed easier for me despite the fact that English isn't my default language.

I can only find it in Thread 44764 (and this was not even a exact copy), where is the other 1000 times?
