language vs. the brain

I know that this is old, but it’s one that I always get a kick out of when I see it getting circulated around the Internet. It’s amazing to me that the brain is adept enough to read so fluidly despite every single word being spelled wrong … makes me wonder why I bother spending so much time proofreading anymore!

The rset can be a tatol mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe.
