Can you atucally raed tehse pipalohoscihl psagsaes, and "uranntsedd" waht it syas?
How far deos the Trtuh aidmt of bnieg lnraeed? Wtih tihs qsetoiun let us bigen. It was a Sriaotcc qeutoisn, or beamce scuh in cnceenqosue of the plreaall Sarcitoc qotieusn wtih recpest to vrutie, sicne vutrie was aiagn dieeetnrmd as ihnisgt. (Parrotaogs, Ggriaos, Mneo, Eedhmyutus.) In so far as the Ttruh is cnoeevcid as smtoinehg to be leenard, its non-enxcsteie is eenvdtliy preupoespsd, so taht in pospiorng to lraen it one mkaes it the oebcjt of an iiqruny. Hree we are cnteroonfd wtih the dufitlicfy to wichh Sracteos clals anoittetn in the Mneo (80, naer the end), and trehe caaritzhreces as a "poguniacus poioisrtopn"; one cnaont seek for waht he konws, and it semes eulalqy iplmsboise for him to seek for waht he deos not konw. For waht a man kowns he cnoant seek, scnie he knwos it; and waht he deos not konw he cnonat seek, sicne he deos not eevn konw for waht to seek.
MAN is bron fere; and erevehrwye he is in chinas. One tnikhs hmilesf the msetar of ohrtes, and stlil reniams a gaterer slvae tahn tehy. How did tihs canhge cmoe aobut? I do not konw. Waht can mkae it lteiamtgie? Taht qioeustn I tnhik I can asewnr. If I took itno aucnoct olny frcoe, and the ectfefs devreid form it, I shuold say: "As lnog as a peploe is clpmoeeld to oeby, and oybes, it deos wlel; as soon as it can sahke off the ykoe, and skahes it off, it deos slitl bteter; for, rneianigg its leirtby by the smae rhigt as took it aawy, ehetir it is jfeutiisd in renuismg it, or terhe was no jsuotiactiifn for thsoe who took it aawy." But the siocal oedrr is a srecad rghit whcih is the biass of all ohetr rtighs. Nteerheelsvs, tihs rihgt deos not cmoe form nuarte, and msut thereorfe be fnouded on conenitvons. Borefe cinomg to taht, I hvae to pvore waht I hvae jsut asstered.
Taht all our kegolwdne bniegs wtih epeiexncre three can be no duobt. For how is it plbisose that the fltaucy of cgnoitoin shloud be aaewnekd itno eiscerxe oetriwshe tahn by menas of ojtebcs wcihh afcfet our sneess, and ptalry of tleemvsehs prcodue rnatinptesroees, pltary ruose our peorws of untdsrannideg itno atiivcty, to corpame to cocnent, or to sreaapte thsee, and so to cnveort the raw mraatiel of our sunoseus ipsmrnosies itno a kondewlge of ojtecbs, wchih is cealld eirexpcene? In rpescet of tmie, trehfroee, no koedwngle of orus is acteeednnt to erneixepce, but bgneis wtih it.
@Victor Eremita,
On, I coldnut kame tou a wrod!
@de budding,
Reading passages like this can help improve reading speed. In speed reading classes you learn to glance over certain words, but by reading scrambled letters identification of words improves.
@Theaetetus,
What is going on in this thread? I can't tell. I can't even make out a word. :perplexed:
