This one is incorrect, though I believed it for years.

I suppose so but that's why I now can't believe I didn't know it, as per thread title.

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are witren, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

I wonder how many people spot the mistake in the 4th word? You'd probably read it as research and ignore the "a" prior to it, but then there's an extra "ch", and if the "a" is correct the extra "ch" should be an "er"

Also not convinced it's really true anyway, anyone want to tell me how easy this is to read?

Easier than it should be if it weren't true.

like i said, thats what Pepsi was first called upon its initial production

i dont know why - they changed its name after Coca Cola sprang up - in order to compete

Brandons drink was the original. and just like its later competitor, they dye it black

Doesn't help that I've never heard "fnuaois" (fusional) or "avaglinttguie" (agglutinative) or "axifefs" (affixes) before...

from languages it reads easily tbh. the first part has some words that dont read easy at all.

Going by a few already in this thread.

Martin and therefore Charlie Sheen are latino.
Christian Bale's British.

Biologically speaking a horn is made out of bone and isn't annually shed. Therefore animals popularly associated with the word often don't possess them. What's on a rhino's nose is hair, and antlers are shed every year so deer don't have any.

I can read some words pretty easily, "******* languages that are not ******** are called ***** languages; they sometimes combine ****** by "squeezing" them together, often changing thhem drastically un the process."

the fact that by googling 'brandons drink pepsi' brings back this thread in the top 10 searches kinda tells me you dont know your facts
