This one has been around a while, but it’s worthwhile repeating as it continually confirms to me that so much of our learning is through pattern recognition and assumptions based on previous patterns: Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht frist and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae.
