I have lots of trouble with my vision and if I can see the first and last letters of a word, I can usually read it without any problems. I think we have read the words so many times in our lives that our brains have just memorized them without realizing it.

What a relief, hope you're right about the Fibro Fog, as I also read it easily.

no problem here....maybe because we are quilters and see what can be rather than just what is in front of us.

Easy-peasy, especially after teaching grades 1 & 2 for 31 years!!!! I would like to see the actual research results on this that would substantiate the claim of Alzheimer's being a long way off. Hmmmm...maybe I'll go check Snopes. Interesting subject. Thanks for sharing.

Just bear in mind that Snopes isn't fool-proof.

Like another poster said - maybe we can read it because we're quilters.

Only great minds can read this. This is weird, but interesting!
Can you raed this? Olny 55 plepoe out of 100 can. I cdnuolt blveiee that I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd what I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in what oerdr the ltteres in a word are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is that the frsit and last ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can still raed it whotuit a pboerlm. This is bcuseaethe huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the word as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? Yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!

I can read It!
But concerning ,I could Never Get Spelling! I SEE Why!!!
