Let me guess:
According to a research at an English university, it doesn’t matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter is at the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without problem. This is because we do not read every letter by it self but the word as a whole.
Correct??

@Vix: *LOL* You must have been reading my mind... *g*
BTW, try reading a word if you can only see the upper half of it - it won’t make a difference at all!

I was able to read that statement quite clearly, by the way.
