"Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, olny taht the frist and lsat ltteres are at the rghit pcleas. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by ilstef, but the wrod as a wlohe."

While trying to track down the origin of that quote, I found that Google isn't quite as bright as we are. Here's what it thought I meant:

"Did you mean: According to research at an Elings university it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are only that the first and last letters are at the right pcleas. The rset can be a total moses and you can still read it wouthit a problem. This is because we do not read ervey letter by ilstef, but the word as a wlohe." - Google

Now, if we were to have ran it through the AOLer Translator followed by a TXT msg xl8r:
