I'm sure many of you have seen, or at least heard about, the paragraph with the words all mixed up but still easily read.

In case you haven't, here it is:

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

Now, I was thinking about it, and I decided to see if you would notice typos in the words, I.E. missing letters, too many letters.
Try to read this and see if you get stuck on any words. If you do get stuck on some, post them in your response. Please dont' look for the mistakes before-hand, that would defeat the purpose of the experiment. I'm trying to see if your sub-concious will notice the irregularities.

Here's the paragraph with the misspelled words. Try to read it as if it were a normal paragraph, and note any words that you pause on.

Aoccdrnig to a rscherch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltters in a wrod are, the olny iproetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltter be at the rgit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcseae the humn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

Actually these sentences look more like normal words then normal spelling does to me. I have dislexia and so my eyes to brain process naturally mess up the letters and so on so when I looked at your paragraphs at first I saw nothing wrong with them. It wasn't until I covered each word that I saw what you were talking about.
