Does Spelling matter anymore?
-
Only great minds can read this. This is weird, but interesting from a study by Cambridge University:
fi yuo cna raed tihs, yuo hvae a sgtrane mnid too
Cna yuo raed tihs? Olny 55 plepoe out of 100 can.
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 you 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 tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!

I can read it, I believe more can read it than there studies indicate!
I couldn't believe I could actually understand what I was reading. The phenomenal power of the human mind according to a research at Cambridge University, it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are the only important 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 without a problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but the word as a whole. Amazing huh? Yeah and I always thought spelling was important!

One aspect not to be discounted is that the people on COMI have higher IQ's in general.
When I was a kid I was classified as "challenged" because I could not read until I was bout 8. I was also told I was a "day dreamer and would never do well". When I was tested they found I had an IQ of 138.
It turned out that the reason I had trouble reading and was alway "day dreaming" was I did not care about the content of the books they were using to teach reading back in the '60's (called the Macguffy Reader-see spot run, see Jane run, see Jane's dad going to work, etc.).
I was just completely lost in thoughts about the why and what of the characters. What the hell did Jane's dad do for a living, how many bathrooms did their house have, what was their mother like as a child, how much money did they make, etc.
I managed to build a successful 25 year career on finding new ways to look at processes and solve problem!
"Day Dreamer".................blow it out your ass Miss Shultz you 3rd grade teaching tyrant!

that was pretty cool
-
I can read it, and read backwards. It just proves, us lefties will one day rule the world! mwahahahahaha!...ok, so probably not...
-
As long as the first and last letter are right and in the right place, the rest of the letters dont really matter. Weird just the same though.
-
I think i can read it because my spelling is so bad,it all looks the same to me ! (very weird-love it :)...
