Snet to me by my fneird Corey...

fi yuo cna raed tihs, yuo hvae a sgtrane mnid too. Cna yuo raed tihs? Olny 55 plepoe can.

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 Uinervtisy, 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! if you can raed tihs forwrad it.

ETA: Good points, everyone! And no, I didn't believe the "55 people" clause -- I only included it because it was in the original post I received. Take it for what it's worth.

Funny enough, this was almost exactly what [livejournal.com profile] tnh said when this first made the rounds, though she still posted it on her weblog for the amusement of seeing it deconstructed by the terrifying number linguists in fandom.

It's still entertaining how many ways people will try to justify their own bad spelling. :)
