Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a ttoal mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

Most of my coding problems are this... I look at the words and they look right to me!  It isn't until someone eles comes over to look at it with me, that I see my problem!

I seen this before and depending on who's words I'm reading as to whether it bothers me... some people, it goes over my head, while others, makes me cringe.  I have problems also at times, and when I read it over, I think how stupid am I.
 
I too can read it.

Of csroue, tihs is all ttaol nssnneoe.  Of csruoe you cna't raed snhmtoeig wtih the ltrtees idnsie coeetmplly saembclrd.

Translation:

Of course, this is all total nonsense.  Of course you can't read something with the letters inside completely scrambled.

The text in the original post has a few letters in each word mixed up, but most of them in the correct order.  No letter has been moved by more than two places, and most words have several letters in the right place.  If you completely scramble the letters in between, it soon becomes impossible to tell without taking significant time to decipher.
