Inst it aanzimg how the hmaun mnid wrkos. Aoccdrnig to a rcehsraseer at an Elingsh 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 is at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe.

Mtnlaely Asgisn lttrees to all the bsacis in a gevin set of tqnhiucees and mke srue yuor peantrr has the smae ltteres agnisesd. Tehn Keep the fsrit bsiac and the lsat bisac the smee but stcwih the mdilde. Be srue to use tqnhiucees taht hvae the smae srattnig bsiac and ednnig baisc. Hvae yruo pntarer tlel you whcih mvoe you did. You mghit be spruseird of how tihs smpile dlril can ivmrpoe yuor use of the rmmnerargnget cpconet and the etaquoin flmruoa in gnearel.

Not even gonna try this as it takes me too long to get the words right in my head and then find the stupid letters on the keyboard, which I still say should be put in alphabetical order ;-)
 
I had trouble with these wrods:

Mtnlaely agnisesd rmmnerargnget fsoaihn

In fact, the 2nd is the only one I'm sure about.

This phenomenon is not without it's limitations.

#1 -- When longer words are used the brain has a harder time putting the scrambled words back together. This is relative to the length of words the person uses on average.

#2 -- Words that the person is not intimately familiar with (or doesn't use on a regular basis) are also harder to piece together.

#3 -- When the words aren't used in a coherent sentence (improper context) the brain has problems putting the words together.

To put the above 3 points in perspective with Kenpo.

#1 Extensions practice
#2 Neuro-muscular memory and repetition
#3 Knowing the How's, When's and Why's

Mr. Parker's analogy of martial arts to language was indeed very deep.
