Why was I reading Black Boots?



dyslexia?
I have dyslexia but it's only sequences of numbers it effects. Not words.
My Mum's the same.
I'm the worst with number sequences, but I think it's because after seeing them enough words become more like a single image than a series of letters. Or that my brain learns common combinations of letters (like: th, st, sh) and then mostly just mixes up the interchangeable ones.
My brain's the same - learns common combinations of letters.
I remember reading this article once that said, it's only the first and last letters that really matter. I'll dig the article out. It's quite interesting:
Today while opening my email I came across a very interesting message from a friend. It was basically a message where the letters of each word were all scrambled. The first and the last letters were kept intact, but between them they were all mixed. Surprisingly enough I could read it perfectly. Below you will find the message. Can you read it?

They say that only 55 people out of 100 can read that way. I would believe this number to be higher (considering that I never found someone who could not read it). What do you think?
