For me, a Japanese whose language does not use alphabet system, it was
not difficult to decode the original message. Actually, I did not
even notice that Cmabrigde Uinervtisy is incorrectly spelled.
There is no phenomenon which correspond closely to this in Japanese, as
we do not put space in between each word.
Well, it depends, after all, on how much you read English sentences
every day.
