If you read what written above, is a proof that it doesn't matter, red it again?*
The statement above the title of this topic is often attributed to a research at Cambridge University, but is there an actual research to support this claim? This statement as we all know actually an internet meme, which is a humorous or satirical image, video, or piece of text that is spread online.We've heard about typoglycemia which is a cognitive shortcut that allows us to read words even if the middle letters are jumbled, as long as the first and last letters are in the correct place. This is because we do not read words letter by letter, but rather as a whole. Our brains fill in the blanks, which is why we can still read words like "Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy" even though the middle letters are all jumbled.
Overall, the phenomenon of typoglycemia isn't a fascinating example of how our brains work? It shows that we are not limited to reading words letter by letter, and that we can use our knowledge of the shapes of words to make our writing more interesting and engaging.
And the wonder when was the phenomenon of typoglycemia first discovered?
