That is bizarre.

I was able to read that at roughly my normal speed.

Even the example paragraph wouldn't read well in parts if they had actually scrambled it well.
.....
Cambridge becomes Cmabrigde? LOL. Why not Crgdbmiae?

Why not?  You should have but it in the paragraph, instead of alone.

The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid Aoccdrnig to rscheearch taem at Crgdbmiae Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae.

Maybe it's because I'm smarter than most people, but I think it still works in the paragraph.

Alone scrambled words are just letters, so "alltseobuy", "vlltauiry", and "alltacuy" because they aren't actually being used in the sentence, they don't unscramble, but the rest of the sentence was easy to read.

Interestingly enough, I read this entire post before I even realised that the words were scrambled.

This is funny!  You misspelled a word incorrectly, wrong....are there enough negatives to make that understandable?

The claim was:

"It doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letters be in the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without a problem."

That says nothing about whether the words are alone or in a paragraph, only that the first and last letter need to be in the right place. Like I said, only under ideal conditions and with minor scrambling.

I don't think so, lol.

"Crgdbmiae Utrvsneiiy" does not exactly scream "Cambridge University" at first glance. In fact, the whole paragraph doesn't exactly scream "Cambridge University" either; it screams "e-mail chain letter written by some bored guy", lol.

I think the point is, the words are fcckued up but you can still read it. Nothing more, nothing less. Plus, I've never read paragraph where words aren't put into some sort of legible sequence. 

Uhhh, hold it, I'm talking the BYOAC people here....neverr mind  ;)

I was saying it would read well no matter how you scrambled it.

If you don't scramble it with bacon and sausage, I don't care what you do with it.
