Typoglycemia (Ty-po-gly-ce-mi-a)

If you can raclel, tsoda'y (17th July 2009) enslgih lsseon, Msr. Teo sowhs us smoe vcoab pcireust(if you wnat to clal that) and we are supospe to guses the puritce, waht it means? I was trynig to fnid mroe pteurcis but I fnoud tihs. Raed the fnlowilog to fnid out mroe: (is wroth it, you wlil konw waht you alywas see but don't konw waht it is) Can you raed tihs mgaesse? If you can you may hvae Tmeyloipycga. Teygmycploia is the leritahehgtd nmae geivn to a puorertpd reecnt drovesicy aoubt the cogniivte pesocress bihend riednag weitrtn text. The nmae meaks ltlite sense as gmcleyia is the ctencotnriaon of gsuloce in the blood, wtih the msot parolbbe oiirgn of the wrod bneig a pun on Heolmcgyyipa. It is an urabn ldgnte/enIerent mmee taht deos hvae smoe eeemlnt of truth beinhd it. The lgeend is pgtrepoaad by eaiml and mgaesse braods and dtensmrtoeas taht rdeares can uaesrtnndd the maienng of wodrs in a sectnnee eevn wehn the lettres of ecah wrod are samlcberd. As lnog as all the nsescraey lretets are peersnt, and the frsit and lsat lrettes riamen the same, rraeeds trun out to hvae ltlite toublre rniedag the txet. The poenoehmnn is ilasttluerd by tihs wwrflo-eyiardedd e-mial meassge:

I cdn'uolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg: the phaonmneel pweor of the hmuan mnid. Aoccdrnig to a rseearch taem at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Such a cdonition is arppoiatrely cllaed Typoglycemia :)- Mbaye taht's why **** T-srihts are so cmoomn?

Amzanig huh? Yaeh and you awlyas thguoht slpeling was ipmorantt.

Alcluaty, no scuh rsecearh was carired out at Cirgabmde Uinristevy. It all staretd wtih a lteetr to the New Sensiictt migznaae form Gharam Rnaswoiln in wihch he dsscisues his Ph.D. thsies: In a puiltacibon of New Scnieitst you could ramdinose all the letetrs, keipeng the first two and last two the same, and reibadailty would hadrly be aftcfeed. My ansaylis did not come to much beucase the thoery at the time was for shape and senqeuce retigcionon. Saberi's work sugsegts we may have some pofrweul palrlael prsooscers at work.The resaon for this is suerly that idnetiyfing coentnt by paarllel prseocsing speeds up regnicoiton. We only need the first and last two letetrs to spot chganes in meniang. So, now you konw waht it is? Ttha's all I hvae for yuo.
