rdanieg. The Phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig
to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy.

It deosn't mttaer in what oredr the ltteers in a word are, the
olny iprmoatnt tihng is that the first and last ltteer be in the
rghit pclae . The rset can be a taotl mses and you can still raed

    Hi, Dave,
    This is something that has been around since the printing press with individual letters was invented. It was soon spotted that it wasn't worth breaking up a block for a spelling error and many early German and English books show the results. Mind you, in the early days spelling was not a precise science any way.

    You might not like what I say - but I believe it.
    Build it, make money, then build some more
    Some old school smarts would help - and here's to Rob Toth for his help. Bloody good stuff, even the freebies!
