Yes, somehow I can understand by replacing the sentences in my mind. Anyway here goes the correction: If you can read this, you have a strange mind too. I couldnt believe that i could actually understand what i was reading. The phenomenal power of the human mind according to a research at cambridge university, it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are, the important thing is that the first and last letter be in the right place. The rest can be 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.

Sometimes ago,my English teacher show me one passage like this,but not as the same at all.In that passage,many words's letters disappered.That is too hard~ These are some simple words,so we can read it ,but if you meet some likely words,we will in troblue. So,this is just a test,we also need to treat letters seriously.

yeah i could read this with no difficulty as i had jus gone through the article on the same topic in a newspaper adn i was not able to believe that it can happen like this also but when i asked a friend to write something in the same way, i reda with no difficulty. i was amazed. this is something a special power of every human mind which most of us don't know i think that we must try to discover every power and properly utilise them. the paragraph with proper spelling is- if you can read this, you have a strange mind too i couldnot believe that i could actually understand what i was reading. the phenomanal power of the human mind according to a research at cambridge university, it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are, the important thing is that the first and the 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 lette by itself,but the word as a whole. amazing huh? yeah and i always thought spelling was important. whatever it is if you write in this way in your practical life you will not be tolerated.... so try to spell the words correctly to all your extent

Yes I read it normally too. It's funny, though, when people type with typos I really notice it. But I suppose it doesn't matter because the message still comes across. Thanks for sharing that!

Wow that was really amazing. I dont know but I also can read it without a problem. I guess sometimes our mind is really powerful we just dont discover how much it is. I guess we just have to trust ourmind in some matters like this.. Thank you for sharing it with us.. Its a good thing to know that we have this kind of ability.:)

I was also amazed that I could read this one you posted. And not only this, the speed with which I read this was an unbelievable 30 seconds. I really timed myself here. And one more thing, I also noticed one error in your typing; the word 'the' was wrongly spelled as 'thr' in the fourth sentence. Anyway, thanks for sharing.

I had no difficulty reading this. It was as if I was reading them like normal words. This is indeed the power of the mind. Our minds are very powerful. And we must use it in a good way.

And taht my freind is part of teh key to speed reidnag :) Sometimes you can just pull back a bit and read the statement without really reading the words for accuracy. Your mind and your literacy ability will almost automatically try to reorganize the letters. The mind also has plenty of neurons and connections that allow for parallel calculations. This is actually a simple task for the prefrontal and midbrain (once you've become adept literate of course). It IS pretty cool and not really strange at all.

I had no problem reading it at all. I won't bother correcting it though. I see that it has already been done. It was really quite simple for me to read. I quite often find myself transposing letters when I am typing and sometimes miss them when I am proofreading because unless I am watching carefully for them, it all looks good to me.
