The rset c! an be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt! if you can raed tihs psas it on !!
My mom sent me this in an email today, she thought she was pretty funny. Spelling has never been my strong point. In university I paid someone else to edit all my term papers. Then I joined this guild, and my worst nightmares came to life. You expected me to spell well. So when I saw this today, I laughed and thought some of you might laugh as well.

That's very interesting...I could read it just as fast as normal.

Yeah, I've seen this before and I thought it was cool. I try to spell everything right- its almost reflex when I misspell to go back and correct it, but I have no apologies for when I'm drinking.

That was fascinating. Just like Plasmo said, I could read the whole thing without slowing down.
Spelling is definatly not my strong point. I rely heavily on spell checkers and the like. I try to spell correctly but a couple of words tend to sneak through. Especially now that my spell checker is not working properly.

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee four two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong
Eye have run this poem threw it
am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

it's more of the ultimate typo email... all the correct letters are there (I think, I only checked a few words), but they are out of order... the mind readily corrects for that.
