Answer
As long as the first and last letter of the word is in its correct position, you can position the middle letters in any order and still make sence of it. Our eyes just glance at he first and last letters of a word.
Wrong. We read words WORD BY WORD, not letter by letter--that's why it works. In our own brains that's probably how the sentence looks--however, it is descrambled by the language sector so we can make sense of it. So in some cases you can read that better than the correct sentence!
