I couldn´t believe that I could actually understand what I was reading. The phenomenal power of the human mind, according to research at Cambridge 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 be in the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without a problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but the word as a whole. Amazing huh?
