Original message

There was a time when people really had a way with words. They said and did whatever they could, so that each little thing would then be made good and clear, both at home and all over the world. They knew that it was very important to use a few short words, because most of the long ones were too hard for them. The only other thing about words is the number of school children who are called names even if they know how to say something right, but can’t find a way to use it in a sentence. By the way, many more families have been after their children to like school. Well, how about you?

…and you thought this

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 total 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. Amzanig huh?
