Don't delete this because it looks weird! Just read it.

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 deosn't mttaer inwaht 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 porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

Spelling is still important, this has been known for years but really it is a PITA to read in that fassion. Yes you can do it, it requires the occasional doubletake and slows you down in that respect. Also, grammer IMO, is at least as important as spelling. There is nothing worse than trying to read information that is supposedly from an adult and have it seem more as if it were from a grade schooler.

Bitches. I read it pretty quickly but as grammer is important to the meaning of a sentence, I like to know exactly what words I am reading instead of letting my brain fill in the blanks.

Yeah, grammar is pretty important too! ;)

That was twice in this thread. I gave you the first one as a typo!

Damn. Haha, I knew I spelled it wrong in the first one too, didn't want to waste the time to edit it. Figures I would do it again.
