Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmotnat tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a total 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?
Read it without a single problem, even in "skimming because I need to read this for class in ten minutes" mode.
The ALL CAPS passage is just as easy for me to read, but I agree with groverat. If the paragraph is long enough it gets harder to read, due to my becoming BINLD WTIH RGAE.
I agree with this. It also makes me hate whoever typed it.
i also hate when PEOPLE DO THIS. i feel like they are screaming at me. often about things which dont REQUIRE an elevated voice. computers would be beter without shift keys.
pretty interesting about that misspelling thing though. i read it normal speed, though it became apparent that something was amis about half through the first sentence (before the content had really hit me).
This is what you learn in speed reading (though I'm not sure if this is the official Evelyn Wood one) that you don't read the word, just look at the beginning and end letter and let it fall into place.
Wow that really is strange, I read that at the same speed I would normally as well... The only word that I stopped on was ltteers but after than I was able to read it normally just fine.

(sorry if you can't read that last part)
