DON'T DELETE THIS BECAUSE IT LOOKS WEIRD. BELIEVE IT OR NOT YOU CAN READ IT.
I cdnuolt blveiee that I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd what I was rdanieg.
The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mind: aoccdrnig to a rscheearch taem at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy. It deosn't mttaer in what oredr the ltteers in a wrod 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 sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. This is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.
Such a cdonition is arppoiately cllaed Typoglycemia.
Amzanig huh? Yaeh and yuo awlyas thought slpeling was ipmorantt.

I must disagree.
I can understand what you have written because I look at each letter in a grouping and then try to create a pattern that is congruent to a previous pattern of a known word.
Sort of like playing Scrabble.

The fact that I am capable of making sense out of gibberish doesn't mean that you are relieved of the responsibility of not writing gibberish to begin with.
Whit da yie nike of thus singins?

PLEASE, don't kill the messenger...
I humbly apologize for not clarifying the origination of my first post on this thread. I cut & pasted the entire post (sans Robyn>- ) from an e-mail I had received last night. When I saw the title of the thread, I immediately thought of the e-mail, and thought it would be an interesting little ditty to share, especially since it is April Fool's Day. It was meant in a light-hearted manner.
In no way do I think that proper spelling is unimportant. Peace.

4totravel: Composing and spell checking in Word is fine, but do be aware that there are some signs and symbols that come out totally wrong when you put them into the "Post a reply" box.
Therefore, unfortunately, you also have to use the "Preview my reply" option before posting.
What one doesn't have to go through in order not to incur the wrath of the Fodor's spelling police...
