I awlyas thought that slpeling was ipmorantt!

My friend snet me this letter:

Raed tihs Fsirt:
I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdgnieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid. Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer inwaht 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.

Then Read this:
I could not believe it that i could actualy understand what i was ….. The phenomenal power of the humen mind. According to a research at Cambridge University, it doesn’t matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be in the right place.The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without a problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but the word as a whole .

Amazing huh? yeah and i always thought spelling was important.

Then my friend told me to try the same thing in Arabic. The result was dissapointing. It doesn’t work at all.
