Of morning, noon, night . . .
Our dreams dragging yesterday,
Our hopes tomorrow hung.

I am what I am and that’s all that I am,
I’m Smith, the accreted man.

This is one of those pass-it-on chain emails I tend to delete. But this one referenced a science study I read a couple years ago that found people can read words no matter what the order of the letters.

This one contradicts itself – it says the only requirement is the first and last letter of the word must be in their correct place which means two and three letter words would always appear correctly spelled, but then types “if” as “fi” and “you” as “yuo” – both of which I read without any trouble.

One thing for sure – I’m not running this blog through SpellCheck.
