I tend to think faster than I type, and while I haven’t seen a manuscript that looks quite this messed up, I’ve certainly managed to creatively type a word or two. I think that’s the only reason I can actually read the text below.

fi yuo cna raed tihs, yuo hvae a sgtrane mnid too

Cna yuo raed tihs? Olny 55 plepoe out of 100 can.

i cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno’t mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it whotuit a pboerlm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Azanmig huh?

  1. This was so much fun. Had no problem reading, but then my writing often looks like that whether I’m typing or not.

  2. Very cool! :-D

  3. I also have a tendency to write similar words that mean completely different things when I am typing away. I’ll write something like “inside” when I mean “insane” and then miss the word when proofreading because I read it as “insane.”
