Spelling OT

Thought I would put this on since there was a thread about spelling a
while back. It is really interesting.


Only smart people can read this....
Olny srmat poelpe can.

The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a 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 LOVE it! I immediately had to send this to my mother, who is ANAL
about spelling!

Thanks!

Tina

I read the message with no problems - does this mean I'm smart or simply
cannot spell?

Ok, sent to mom with the header, "LOL, so there!" This of course, is
what I get back....

"SMART....smart...really????? I believe almost any idiot could read
this basically because most seem to think this way already and spell
this way to boot!
Love"

I think it's cuz I'z smart! so there!

Could it mean that we are intelligent, bad spellers? G No, I could read
it
and I am one of those who is a little anal about proper spelling as well.
But
it is cute.

I've seen this before and I think it is fascinating. I had a discussion a
few years back with a friend who was bemoaning the fact that kids are not
taught to read phonetically any more. She was of the opinion that phonics
gives a better basis for learning. I really had no opinion one way or the
other. I was taught to read phonetically back in the early 60's, but I have
no trouble reading a paragraph such as this.

Any thoughts?

Well ... You've had a bit of reading practice since then g

Gee, and I thought it was only because I 'm a special ed teacher.

Actually, a good reader predicts and fills in, and that is why you can
read it. A poor reader reads word-by-word with a great deal of effort
going into the reading, and would not be able to read it. A while ago,
a passage with the "count the instances of the letter "f" Most people
can't do it because their minds don't process the word "OF" unless it
contributes significantly to meaning.

FINISHED FILES ARE THE
RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC
STUDY COMBINED WITH THE
EXPERIENCE OF YEARS
