Cna yuo raed tihs? Olny 55 plepoe out of 100 can.

The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae.. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it whotuit a pboerlm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

I doubt that only 55/100 can read it. Most people recognize words by patterns, such as first and last letter, so almost everyone should be able to read it.

Now, if you try and leave the middle letters the same, but change the first and last letter, then it would be difficult to read:

The 55/100 claim is meaningless because it does not specify 55/100 of whom: All the people in the world, all those who can read English, all Americans including infants, etc. I wanted to remove it, but then decided to keep the original intact.
