Remember the paragraph:

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 toatl 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.

Well, according to Matt Davis, much of the paragraph is wrong. He has a page that explains the myth and why it is not always true.

When testing the theory, I went to msn.com and put in paragraphs from an article about habits that aren’t as healthy as the image they have.

I already knew what they were talking about with the anti-bacterial soap, but it was good to see my primary way of sitting in a chair is not bad on my back and that drinking 8 glasses of water is TOO MUCH!
