Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabridge 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

Madhivanan, that's an interesting point, is it just english that it applies to? Somehow I suspect not.

same thing in all slavic languages.
this happens because word patterns are stored in our brain. so we basicaly know it even without thinking about it.
anyone who ever worked with neural networks understands this.

I'd say it is not just recognizing each word as a whole, but also in the context of the sentence. If you take that same statement, but mix up the order of the words and just list them all out, it's another story all together.

its possible, but yes I think "jeffs right - it doesn't work if you change the order."
