This is amazing and a great brain tease!

THIS IS AMAZING AND A GREAT BRAIN TEASE which I just posted on my website in the blog section and thought it would be great to bring it here as well for everyone to see and experience.

 

Try to read the paragraph below, then consider what it actually says...

 

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it doesn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng 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 and the biran fguiers it out aynawy.

 

WOW!

 

On a side note, when I first encountered this interesting visual and fun fact, I found it VERY difficult to actually type it out because as the paragraph says, the brain does in fact interpret the words correctly though I had to actually think very hard to type everything above as seen rather than automatically correcting the words to their appropriate spellings.

 

Hope you enjoy!

Ah - the mind is a terrible thing to play with. Put it back in the brain and close the brain box.

[whipped guy]

As a test I just cut and pasted that paragraph to Microsoft Office Word and here is how it corrected that paragraph... I took the first suggestion. It did not do too badly though some of the words would not correct and in fairness some of the correct words were second or third suggestions...

 

Occurring to a rscheearch at Cambridge Uinervtisy, it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only pigment thing the first and last letter be at the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it outhit problem. This is busier the human mind does not read every letter by istle, but the word as a whole and the bran fruiters it out anyway.

 

 

Ordo ab Chao as they say!

 

By the way an "istle" is a strong fiber from a tropical plant! At least I learned a new word!

And found something else to tie someone up with. LOL

 

Thanks Romann. I've seen things like this before and it always is fascinating to see how really easy it is to read.

Thanks Romann~

Interesting~ I'm dislexic~ My natural tendency is to read right to left and bottom to Top~

So, It was really confusing for me to read~ Simply because if you put it all backwards and turn the letters upside down, that is what I see and have to translate~

Needless to say, I am not an avid reader~. The words are images to me. Either I recognize the short cut backwards upside down image and can translate it fast or I have to sit there and flip it all around and try to retranslate it all from image to concept as a spelled word or just give up~

I always veered towards science because it was up front information with the least amount of reading~ I've only on a few occasions finished or attempted a fictional writing~

I can write but reading is cumbersome unless it's symbols like chinese or something~

Poetry makes sense to me because of all of the adjectives or writing with lots of provocative image thought involved~

Peoples names can leave me at a deficit at times, written or spoken~

Images work best though~

Of the few pieces of literature I have completed, one piece is the Monkey by Wu Ch'eng En, (which I always remember first as Cheng En-Wu... [the middle part of that picture is Ch'eng, then moving to the right again I see the En and finally making my way to the left I see Wu]), and the Four Books/Great Learning.

Each I translated from Chinese, a language of symbols that represent concepts~ Those characters were concise and condensed and it was easier then taking a word, translating the image of IT into a meaningful definition, along with other words, to form a general concept~ It's like driving from Chicago to Milwaukee and taking the coast line to get there~

I'm a remarkably slow reader when it comes to things in the English language however, my retention of it is outstanding and way above average because I have the primary tendency to see the word, page, paragraph etc as an image.

When I think back searching for information I want to reference. I see the pages in my mind as an image and then simply just re-read it from the picture in my mind~

For example, (and given I have some combined letter recognition of group letters that form a concept as a word), try to translate this: (This is what I see when reading~)

"feli noh ngsiht... outba eerht ndow... velo teirw"

I'll let you work on it and then tell you the translation~

It's one sentence written down in two lines~ Written in standard English though, in my mind, it's three distinct pictures consisting of groups of letters that I have developed skills to turn around or upside down to create words I translate into image things and then string together eventually after scanning the pictures to form a sentence that has a meaning~

The last sentence in your sample looks somewhat like this to me~ " ywanay tuo iersfg anbir het nda helo a sa dorw het, felsti yb tertel yev,(vey) r e d a e r ton soap wu,(nm)e,(a),(man),c,(a),eh, (hua) pium het aesncd si shit.

It's supposed to be: "This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but as a whole and the brain figures it out anyways".

In order for you to read that correctly you would have to start at the end, flip letters around and regroup them in order to get the meaning of the sentence~

Tricky words for me were: Human, does, because, read, anyways. Partly, I think because those words have so many letters that you can flip around to form different letters. In some cases, my mind flips them and pairs them to try to form a familiar picture word/meaning: ie., the word "mind" turns into "pius" and then "plum" and the word "anyways" is perplexing but has the word "man" in it somehow~ Then I have to reorder it all and flip a few more things around~

After years and years of doing things that way though, one becomes more proficient at it~ It still takes me longer but I can do the process quickly considering what I am doing to read~

Hope you enjoy!

When I first looked at your sample, I thought "What the heck does that say?" As I started actually reading it, it came to me immediately what it said. I think years over reading taught me to "skim read" because I just needed to get the overall meaning and not detailed specifics.

 

Thanks guy for a real interesting post

Well! It would have been easy for me because that is the way things come out when I type... I guess it is related to being afflicted with a of a certain amount of dyslexia in addition to the fact I use the two finger typing technique. Strange, but I often do type the first and last letter correctly, but the middle letters tend to be somewhat jubmled (I mean jumbled!) up.

And found something else to tie someone up with. LOL

Exactly! I certainly ain't gonna use an istle to weave baskets or craft a rug!

I'm not sure where you discovered this piece of information, Romann, but this psychological process has been common knowledge among reading specialists for at least thirty years. It helps to explain why proofreading is difficult, and why we often can't see our own typos.
