I know i have posted his before but received an e mail about it today so thought it was worth shareing again.

The Problem With Words


I aylaws tghuoht taht sleplnig
was a rael imnatropt sklil
and if I cloud not get it rhigt
I wloud be thguoht of as a dlil.

But I raed tihs sutdy taht tehy did
alhougth it relaly mdee frwon
taht siad spleinlgs not imnatropt
wehn the wrods you do witre dwon.

Now tihs sutdy fuond the hmuan bairn
deos not raed evrey letetr
and so lnog as all are in the wrod
we can all strat raeidng betetr.

The wrod can be a tatol mses
wtih letetrs stcuk in anwheyre
so lnog as the fisrt and lsat are rhgit
we rellay sholud not care.

Now I don't beielve taht tihs can be
becusae wehn I wnet to scohol
good raednig wrtnig and atirhemitc
wree alyaws the gloden rule.

And all throurh my edauctoin
thgouh it cuased me oh scuh strfie
If I did not splel croretcly
tehn I'd not seucre a job in laetr life.

Now it taeks a whlie to poendr
the rerepcusisons of tihs tlae
and I don't see how it can be true
but comomn snese msut now praveil

I'll mkae srue taht evrey tmie I splel
taht ecah wrod is as its maent to be
you will not see julbmed letetrs
or gablred wrods from me.

But I'll konw now in the fuutre
thgouh I'm not knwon to be so brgiht
eevn wehn I splel the wrods all wonrg
tehy raelly wlil be rihgt.

Very clever Bob. I hadn't seen this poem before. I have trouble keeping up with the posts on here. I've seen the email floating around (and around and around ) and always find it interesting that you can in fact read the sentences quite well even though the letters are jumbled but to put it all down in a rhyme like you have and it still reads ok, well I'm impressed. Well done.

It all comes down to the fact that some people can read reading and others can read writing.

I can read this poem almost straight off but often need to get me dictionary to keep up with Neville and that is a good thing because any thing that makes me think is helping to keep me young.

Good one Bob. I've seen the email a trillion times but I like how you've made it into a poem.

Neville teaches us something new every time. That's a good thing. We're just one big happy learning family really! Ain't life grand!

Hang on that means Dave is my older brother and so is Neville AAAAHHHHH

Bob

Thanks Bob, Cuz... Marty,don't build me up too much, it a long way down when I crash.


I went to a seminar yesterday where we were lectured for over three hours by two doctors explaining the physiology and treatment of my wife's condition, with all the medical terms and drug names; unabbreviated !!!!,my head would have been spinning if it wasn't feeling like it was filled with concrete, about to hit the table.
For example...Pengylated liposomal doxorubicon..and...cyclophosphomide with lenalidomide as a newer immunodulatory agent...

So get onto a healthy diet Marty, you don't want to go there.

Neville said Pengylated liposomal doxorubicon..and...cyclophosphomide with lenalidomide as a newer immunodulatory agent...
