Selplnig
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!

Fascinating...truly...Now I just need to write sofware thata will randomize the internal letters of whatever words you input and I can have my own factory art style of writing. I wonder what would happen if the mixed up letters in the middle of the word spelled their own word...would that interrupt the recognition process? Maybe there could be a new form of poetry in which you mix up the internal letters of words to spell other words and give additional meanings.
yes, i'd like to see your wordwork.....i think having the letters between the first and last spell identifiable words would not only distract one from the readability, but would also require the writer to limit his expression to the utilization of words that fit the new formula, thus limiting expressivness......even more challenging, one could perform this task in dactylic hexameter, to boot!
