"Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae.

Well thanks to a colleague I recently came upon some background to the piece and some research about which elements of it are true and which aren't. THanks Jez.

Fascinating stuff. Remember to keep looking out for 'myths' and keep your sceptics hat on.
Warm regards,
