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 itslef but the wrod as a wlohe.
This kind of stuff really interests me, I guess since the time of my study of Linguistics at Uni. Isn’t our brain amazing that we don’t have to see the whole word or hear the whole converstion, to pick up the gist of what is being said. I would always say to my hearing aid oldies “you don’t have to hear everything, just the key words” and then they would be able to keep up with the conversation. Speaking of hearing aid oldies, it is my Nanna’s birthday today, and if she were alive she would have been 83. I wish she were here, she’d have such fun with the kids. Better get back to work!!
PS I have my mojo back again. The flu is subsiding and apart from blocked ears and a stuffed up nose, I am on the road to recovery!
