I thought I'd stumbled onto the george lucas star wars forums and it read "you can read sith". turns out I can't.

...and because humans have an innate syntax biologically imprinted into them before birth that aids in the decoding process.

See now try reading it. Same words but ungrammatically formed (aka ill-formed).

I taht I blveiee cluod aulaclty coludnt waht I rdanieg was. The uesdnatnrd mnid phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan. rscheearch to Cmabrigde at Uinervtisy, it deosn't Aoccdrnig mttaer in oredr waht mttaer the in a wrod ltteers are, tnihg the olny iprmoatnt taht the is frist and ltteer lsat be in the rghit.


we don't just read the whole word, we expect and predict the next word because our minds have a universal grammar which knows what's going to be next.
