This only works if you have the first and last letters in the correct place, so:
If we dnid't konw how to slpel tehm in the fsrit pacle tehn we wludo't konw waht ltters cmae frsit or lsat.

I see waht you did tehre (not as fun when you use less than 4 letter words though)

Not looking like a moron.

Thus the reason the first and last letters were in the right spot

Good that they were, because I just kept on reading something about "spelling drows", and thus I was confused as to why in heck you had created this thread.

Yes, which makes my second sentence accurate!

Does anyone else find it kinda neat how it's still fairly easy to read? I remember coming across this in a magazine a number of years ago; without any introduction or explanation, the article opened with the first several sentences having their letters jumbled, as they are in the OP, and I remember being somewhat amazed as I looked over what I thought was gibberish, only to find myself reading and understanding everything with almost no additional concentration or effort required. For some reason it felt kinda cool, and I couldn't help but grin.

What I would like to know is how fast the brain could process mathematical equations, if you could do it unconsciously like the brain does for vision, hearing, etc. But of course, doing math and transmitting electrical signals between organs are two different things.

Captain... Take a look at this.

It also doesn't work as well if a word scrambled becomes another actual word, like "pinot".

He did mention "pinot".

Higher mathematics haven't exactly been an every-day survival skill in our evolutionary past.

Ever played a ball-game? Your mind is constantly calculating trajectories of flying balls and running people in split-seconds. Pure math your mind is doing when you catch the ball, then throw or kick it to another player. Much faster than you'd be able to do on paper.

I'm no expert, but I'm not sure if that would qualify as "calculating," at least in the usual meaning of the word. I think a lot of that is reflexes; basically, with enough practice, your body is trained to react with little thought involved.

Wow, my brain sucks at those mathematics then, as I always either miss or get hit by the ball.

Haha yeah me too. It's kinda funny if you think of sports as being a bunch of rapid calculations, because normally being good at math is something attributed to nerds, who are also associated with being bad at sports.

Laziness has something to do with it too. Interestingly enough, I am lazy to calculate simple aritmethics in Chemistry, but when I do so in video games, I can react in a matter of seconds, if not less.
Especially in Anno 2070 - I need eight friggin Corn Farms for 4 Biopolymer factories, ARE YOU SERIOUS? That's like (3x3 + 9x3x6) x8 squares of area, IT OCCUPIES THE WHOLE GODDAMN ISLAND!

Sorry, got carried away

What happened to the good old days when we farmed sugar cane for rum and were sailing in carvels?? Come to think of it: it's actually quite unhistorical there's no slaves in Anno 1602. But maybe Anno 2070 is better days: there's robots now for the dirty jobs?

*edit: I got even further carried away.

@Son_of_Imoen : It's those Hippies that require the bots. The corporate bastards only need jewelry and pills. On the other side, the geeks need Red Bull. Chose your poison! XD
