spelling

[Guest Goose]

I felt like a school boy when I put a players name onto another area of this website & spelt his name wrong (complete accident) however i thought you guys may like this.

Only great minds can read this

This is weird, but interesting!

Cna yuo raed tihs? Olny 55 plepoe out of 100 can.

The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae.

A psychological oddity, no doubt -- but as a teacher, I'm afraid I really must object to this thread! Spelling does matter!

Now I know that we Americans misspell lots of things: "color" for "colour", "soccer" for "football", etc., but I once had a student who was writing about a date she'd gone on; she was slow dancing with this fella and his cologne made an impression:

"As we danced, I could smell his sweet colon."

Now tell me spelling doesn't matter!

I understand what you say however it was placed on the site for fun also it does state spelling is important.

oh, I understand it was for fun -- so was my dismay! :clapper:

Putting soccer instead of football isnt a spelling mistake :-)

The World Trade Centre Disaster although known throughout the would as 9/11 should be 11/9 as it was in September but it doesn't quite have the same ring to it.
