"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 in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit too mnay porbelms. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe."

If you read my post last Saturday ( " What I IF Told You" April 6, 2019 ) you'll see that the above statement is true and your brain is a wondrous thing, adapting very well to what seems like a difficult task.

Much the same way "predictive text" works on a Smart Phone, your brain is able to take the context of a sentence and determine what is coming next, thereby formulating the correct words and setting you up for successfully reading what seems like a jumbled mess. 

Of course, this is only partly true in the grand sense, as the jumbled words in the paragraph are carefully arranged. It is relevant that the function words, like "and" and "the", are intact, and that the placement of certain adjacent letters does make a difference. "Porbelm" is easier to relate to "problem" than "Plrbeom" for example, partly because it also carries the sound of the correct word. 

So, despite the fact that your brain is actually about 60% fat, it's truly amazing just what your grey matter can do for you when put to the test!
