Cna yuo raed tihs? fi yuo cna raed tihs, yuo hvae a mnid to udrtsand DNA and why it is poisbssle for DNA to Evovle.

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 inervutisy, 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? Yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!

Hey,

Nice smile.gif . But I don't think that the only important thing is that first and last letters have to be at the right places. For example: seignr. Is it singer or signer? I believe that if you read only individual word, you may well find it gibberish, but the whole paragraph, not too much trouble. The context is thus important, too.

That's why human brains are miles ahead of teh best computers/AI.

ya, i also thought so
we need the complete sentence to find the proper words.
but still, it amazed me when I could read it smoothly without even stopped to think
