This is weird, but interesting!

fi yuo cna raed tihs, yuo hvae a sgtrane mnid too
Cna yuo raed tihs? Olny 55 plepoe out of 100 can.
i cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it whotuit a pboerlm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!

I thought that it was quite easy to read :) so it seems to confirm the theory about the brain making sense of it all, however I still think that we should try to spell words correctly. The English language is always evolving by adding new words from other cultures, certain popular phrases tend to get included as well, but unless we attempt to keep the language legible and understandable to all, we would have nothing for our mind to use as the reference point. Remember, it is only because we know the way it should be written that the mind can make sense of familiar words even if they are misspelled. :)

And don't forget folks, for some people on here, English isn't their first language, so let's be careful what we teach them hey :)
