No idea about the research base, Don.
But it strikes me as so funny, I'm forwarding to select friends.
Thanks.

Has anyone ever come across the actual research on this?

“Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer
in what oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is
that the first and last ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be
a total mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. This is
bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the
wrod as a wlohe.”
