Although the name makes little sense, it's called Typoglycemia, describing the cognitive processes behind reading written text. It demonstrates that readers can understand the meaning of words in a sentence even when the letters of each word are scrambled.
As long as all the necessary letters are present, and the first and last letters remain the same, readers turn out to have little trouble reading the text.
Now you can put your mind to the test and try to read your favourite websites in the same fashion!

Love the new layout Gerard.
Cheers. :~)
Typoglycemia makes little sense because it originated as a pun on the disease Hypoglycemia. It was originally used as a joke term for the disorder someone has when they do not type well and their words come out in the wrong order, like anagrams. Like me.
