The Problem With Words

I aylaws tghuoht taht good sleplnig
was an 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.

Same here. I could read it quite quickly but the breaks in metre pulled me up. If the rhythm flowed it was easy to read. Brains are interesting things.
