Typoglycemia: Don't skip over this because it looks weird. Believe it or not you can read it.
I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid. Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer inwaht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae.

If I remember correctly from my cognitive psychology class, it's not just that we read whole words, but that we read in context. We automatically put in words that make sense; granted it would be harder in this case with surrounding words mixed as well. I know while reading everyone's eyes jump back a few times. The quicker readers' eyes jump back less. With something like this, you're slower reading because you do have to work to read it. It may not be too difficult, but you are still struggling a bit more than usual.
