Yes I did.

Keith that was hard reading but I got there in the end, bit like reading embargoed

I've seen this with the letters out of order, but this is the first time I've seen it with numbers. Good example of a Brain Study: If you can read this OUT LOUD you have a strong mind. And better than that: Alzheimer's is a long long, way down the road before it ever gets anywhere near you.

It's amazing how quickly you can actually 'sight-read' both passages.

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 bcuseae the 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!

Best of luck chaps and chapesses

Just shows what a fantastic gift is the old grey matter, cos it doesn't seem to matter if the matter matters as long as it manages to be able to matter when it comes to reading. Well, it matters to me that my grey matter matters, and I am grateful for the gift of being able to read what look like heiroglyfics. (not sur ehow to spell tha t one.)
But I have a sneaky feeling that had I written in such a vein in my day at school I might have had a constant zero mark!

Nice to see you back on the forum Keith

Yes it does, for me it is important, we all make spelling and grammar errors from time to time but some posts are just absolutely littered with them and make for difficult reading.

Mokfey, what brilliant exercise for the brain, I faltered a bit at the beginning but then it all fell into place.

More please.
