I got so many Likes for this in a thread with few views that I thought I'd start a thread so many more could see it. Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteres are at the rghit pclae. 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.
I wr if te nr of ls in bn te ft ad lt ls mr? Or if te ls in bn bg ct (en if ot of or) mr? I wxxxxr if txe nxxxxr of lxxxxxs in bxxxxxn txe fxxxt axd lxxt lxxxxxs mxxxxr? Or if txe lxxxxxs in bxxxxxn bxxxg cxxxxxt (exxn if oxt of oxxxr) mxxxxr? I wonder if the number of letters in between the first and last letters matter? Or if the letters in between being correct (even if out of order) matter?
You need a minimum of 4 letters in the word. I don't think it would work with random letters between the first and last ones.
On the contrary, it’s a useful illustration of how we can see things that are not there. The opposite is also true, how can one not see things that are right in front of them. “The map is not the territory” These concepts are very useful for trading. They can explain why the many times a trader’s valid entry and position ends up exiting for a loss. Edit: Understanding what factors affects perception can be the difference that makes the difference.
