Probably, I am 53th who is able to read it. TEXT:Couldn't believe that I could actually understand what I was reading. The phenomanal power of the himan mind, according to a research at Cambridge University, it does not matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be in the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without a problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but the word as a whole. Amazing huh? yeah, and I always thought spelling was important! If you can read this report it. Only poster if you can read this. change the number at top though... Go up a number if you can read it... Let's see how high we can get...

wow, AMAZING! It was simple for me to read that special piece of text. I was really surprised!! I think I am the 57th??? The fact that the human mind does not read every letter by itself is very true, we've studied this in psycholinguistics..This is a kind of prediction the mind does, because the human mind has a lexicon that plays the role of dictionary where words are stored and classified according to different characteristics such word type (adjective, noun...), meaning ect.. I think that the context obviously helps in understanding and recognizing the word, also the competence of the reader and the degree of his mastery of the language. thank you very much Mira, it was very interesting and enjoyable.. we're waiting for your really nice and extraordinary topics..
