    Okay, so at a recent study at Cambridge University, research has discovered that through our phenomenal mind power that we can decipher a word that contains all the same letters, mixed around in a random order, as long as the first and last letters are the same. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself but the word as a whole. That way even if words are misspelled completely incorrect yet the first and last letters are the same we can still understand the word as a whole. For instance if I wrote "fntaitasc" most people should be able to find out what that word is. Now this does not apply for everything, for instance words we don't know we obviously would not figure out, and sometimes the human mind gets relapsed and puzzled so they can not figure it out. But in most cases we can understand its true meaning. I found that to be quite interesting. Thoughts?
