If you can read the following paragraph, forward it on to your friends and the person that sent it to you with ‘yes’ in the subject line. Only great minds can read this. This is weird, but interesting! It also kinda blows a hole in the Hooked on Phonics premise. fi yuo cna raed tihs, yuo hvae a sgtrane mnid too
Cna yuo raed tihs? Olny 55 plepoe out of 100 can.

Azanmig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt! if you can raed tihs forwrad it
FORWARD ONLY IF YOU CAN READ IT
That’s weird and I had no problem what so ever in reading that, but I can also write backwards with no problem now that’s really strange.
No problem reading it, but it has nothing to do with the importance of phonics. Give that to a kid learning to read and see if he can do it. Or ask a kid to try and spell a word he’s not familiar with just by sounding it out.
Someone ought to forward that to the members of the grammar police who have a fit every time someone accidentally types its instead of it’s or their instead of they’re at 2 a.m. I could read it. If they can, they ought to lay off the poor souls who miss the occasional typo.
This is really cool. I guess there are a lot of bloggers out there who agree that the order of the letters doesn’t matter b/c poor spelling and grammar are rampant. My husband and I were both able to read these – would’ve felt kinda dumb if we couldn’t. 🙂
I are larned to talk very correct.
