Lots of stuff there.

I cdnuolt blveiee that I cluid aulaclty uesdnatnrd what I was rdgnieg:
THE PAOMNNEHAL PWEOR OF THE HMUAN MNID

Aoccdrhig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in what oredr the ltteers in a word are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is that the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can still raed it wouthit porbelm. This is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the word as wlohe.

Amzanig, eh?
