I couln't believe that I could actually understand what I was reading. The phenominal power of the human mind according to a research at Cambridge University, it doesen't matter in what order the letters in a word arethe only important thing is that the first and last letter brin 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 yea and i always was important.

PS Here's your text rescrambled, Richard:

i coludnt blievee that I culod atlulacy uerndtasnd what I was rnaideg. The pnanmeahol pewor of the haumn mind, ardnoccig to a rechcsreah at Cmdgiabre Utviesniry, it desno't matter in what oredr the letrets in a word are, the only ipotmarnt thing is that the fsirt and last lteetr be in the rihgt pacle. The rest can be a total mess and you can siltl read it wtiohut a perlbom. This is basucee the hamun mind does not read every letter by iltesf, but the word as a whole. Aminazg huh? yeah and I ayawls thghout senpllig was imnortapt! if you can read this farword it
