This little gem landed in my e-mail Inbox this morning. It is supposed to come from Cambridge University and is supposed to prove that reading depends on the first and last letter of the word. I managed to read it so how do you go on? I don't claim to be extra smart by the way!

O lny srmat poelpe can raed this.
I cdnuolt blveiee that I cluod aulaclty ?uesdnatnrd what I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig ?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 first and last ltteer be in the rgh it pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can still raed it wouthit a porbelm. ? This is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the word as a wlohe. Amzanig huh? Yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt! If you can raed this psas it on ?!!

I read it OK too. It looks like their research is correct!
