Ok, So We Can't All Be Genius

so, naturally, there are those of us that are simply smarter than others. though the information below is in no way indicative my intellect, i did find the underlying theme interesting....no matter what order the interior letters of a word are in, the human mind pieces the word puzzle together to allow a person to read the jumble. give it a whirl, you'll feel like einstein, jr.

I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid. Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht 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..

yeah, i couldn't believe it either. thanks cambridge.

Your title should be "OK, So We Can't All Be Geniuses" You need to use the plural form there, sport.

And spelling does still count.


Did you miss me?

i should correct myself: i intended to use "genius" in adjectival form, not in noun form.
