I cannot verify if this actually is the porduct of a “Cmabrigde Uinervtisy” study. Someone I knew sent it to me. I thought it was pretty cool.

The paomnnehil pweor of the hmuan mnid.  
Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht  
oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht 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.  
Ptrety amzanig huh?
