Give this a try ;-)
My cousin bucked this to me and, while not pertaining to cats
directly--although it may indicate how they think--it is something which a group of bright people ought to find interesting.

Raeidng In Cnoextt
Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. This was amazing to me. Interesting to me also becuase I've spent practically my whole life working iin print media. I learned long ago that an accomplished typist doesn't type by letter, and sometimes even by word. There's a "muscle memory" (for lack of the proper term) that just takes over and the brain sends the fingers the entire phrase. It's a weird phenomenon. I could type 100+ wpm back then, and it was often humorous some of the words that would just crop up out of nowhere. Sherry |

I notice in grading essays, the most important thing for me in understanding
content is punctuation!! Karen Definitely. And it surprises and dismays me at the young people who don't know how to punctuate properly. Or, they end every sentence with an exclamation point!! Like this!! Arrggh. Remember that song a few years ago.... I love you period. Do you love me question mark Please, please exclamation point I wanna hold you in parentheses.... I always wondered if this was about a guy in love with his English teacher. Sherry |

Amazing! I'm a speed reader (1400+ wpm), and this didn't even slow me
down. I'd like to see the research on this.
