Ok.....I dislike the ever growing trend with youth of today with their own text type grammar and spelling (hence the title of this thread), but read the passage below as fast as you can and then you may question wether it all really matters. If you lose track try again and read as quick as possible. Its been about a bit but some of you might not have seen this before:
I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The
phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid. Aoccdrnig to rseearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit
pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a
