Adcioncrg to a receershar at Cimrbgade Uitsenrvyi, it dseon't meattr in what oedrr the lrteets in a word are, the olny iprnamtot thing is taht the first and lsat leettr be at the rhgit pcale. The rest can be a taotl mses and you can sltil raed it wouhitt pblreom. Tihs is bcseuae the hamun mnid deos not read eevry lteter by istelf but the wrod as a welho.

According to a researcher at Cambridge University, it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be at the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself but the word as a whole.
I found this to be rather interesting and thought it would be fun to create a program that would generate this on-the-fly and communicate with my friends with these scrambled messages. This page is the result of that work. To find out more about this kind of meme, please see http://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/~mattd/Cmabrigde/
You can view the source of this page to see how I implemented the word scrambling algorithm.
