Yeah, no duh.

AOCDRNDICG TO RSCHEEARCH AT CMABRIGDE UINERVTISY, IT DSENO'T MTAETR WAHT OERDR THE LTTERES IN A WROD ARE, THE OLNY IPROAMTNT TIHNG IS TAHT THE FRSIT AND LSAT LTEETR BE IN THE RGHIT PCLAE. TIHS IS BCUSEAE THE HUAMN MNID DEOS NOT RAED ERVEY… LTETER BY ISTLEF, BUT THE WROD AS A WLOHE. IF YOU CAN RAED TIHS, PSOT IT TO YUOR WLAL. OLNY 55% OF PLEPOE CAN.

This is one of many stupid statuses circulating on Facebook. It claims that there was research done about how people really only read words as a whole and not letter by letter. Supposedly, only 55% of people can read it. CAN. The people who can't just don't have a Facebook account, don't speak English, or are illiterate.

I can't believe that people really believe this. They only changed a few letters around in the paragraph above. Try reading this:

dlaond mhraecd anorud a sgrante palilr and terhw a ggniaitc sntoe

And yes, I did copy this sentence from the internet.
