Really careful proofreading is good because 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?
So, proof carefully. But the next time you pick up a printed piece and see a typo, remember: Siht Hpapens.

Fascinating. I bet your spellcheck had fits when it saw you were going to leave that as is.
I drive spellcheck nuts quite a bit. With ellipses. Incomplete sentences. Words like "ohhhhhh...."
For a minute, I thought you were a long-lost high school friend -- his last name really is Batman. :-)
