Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt 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 porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.
How cool is that?

Very interesting. I wonder if this ability is in any way linked to how dyslexia works.

The whole thing with the capital letters is supposedly something to do with the fact that capitals dont have tails, they're all the same size (like the 'y' doesn't stick out at the bottom and the 't' doesn't stick out at the top in capitals)
