EMIRATES now charging for SEATS

Yes, let's face it, why care about your readers and making sure you're communicating effectively?

while I basically agree with this sentiment, as this classic text shows "communicating effectively" may not require all the care and attention when typing that you may first think

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!

unfortunately however this example of Typoglycemia is a popular urban myth - there was no research at Cambridge and other examples of such text are almost unreadable - like cdnmatt's posts!
