That is a great example Andrew, the * in P*ss is a prfect exaple to
shw others in cncpt hw the human neo cortex works...prediction

Aoccdrnig to 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
tatol 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.

I expect this to be more true for a language like English than it is
for e.g. German or Norwegian, where you can build very long words from
a series of shorter ones. The words "a yolelw bgugy wihp" (a yellow
buggy whip) are probably easier to comprehend than "a ylbeolwwghuigyp"
(a yellowbuggywhip) for instance (even if that wouldn't be an entirely
correct contraction in Norwegian at least, the point remains).

Cheers,
