I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdgnieg The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer inwaht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

At work I have to fill out service invoices by hand. I often jumble a few words like that because I am thinking way ahead of what I am wrighting. If it is not to bad, I leave the jumbled words in, just to mess with the girl that does our data entry. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif
 
The trick is getting the right letters into the word and the leading characters.

If you spell school as skol it would then be imposible to interpret sokl in the way you suggest, or in more detail:

Yis, spelin ish impurtint

Yis, selpin ish initrupmt
