  as long the correct letters are there, in the correct words.. although jumbled up.. most people can read the sentence..

  WAIT A MINUTE.
  I ask a question.
  What if there are words that are the same length, have approx the same letters, and start and end with the same letters.
  then what?

  most probably ull get the first word that comes in ur mind...or whatever u think fits in that sentence...actuali even if u leave out one letter(especially in a very long word) u might still read it as the whole word itself...

  When you read a sentence, your brain will automatically find a word that fits the sentence before your actually read it. Take it as a list of suitable words. And when you see the first and last letter of the word, your brain will take out the words that have the same first and last letters. Then, it will measure the length of the word and cut out any word that is longer or shorter than the one you're reading. Lastly, to make sure it's the right word, you brain will collect all the letters and autoarrange them.
  
  This is my own theory. I'm 15 this year, so don't take it seriously.

  it's like how you can tell whether someone is saying "deer" or "dear" based on the rest of the sentence.
  
  or whether someone is saying "see" or "sea".. as long as u read / hear the rest of the sentence u will know.
  
  that time berocca or something was advertising a pill (something like brands essence of chicken) to make pple more alert
  
  not this exact sentence but similar:
  
  Edit: instead of ownself typing.. read this:
  
  
  
  okay maybe that was a bad example (since i can't manipulate the display of words here) but when at the correct font, position, colour, etc, nobody would notice the extra "the" in the sentence cause our brain would skip it automatically.
