Didn't you just say "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."?

[sevenhalo]

It's obviously "Iresmangous."

How could you not see that?

[CVMichael]

If that actually IS a word... well, google did not find anything...

[mendhak]

Iresmangous = Ignoramuses.

[capsulecorpjx]

I wonder how that works with Mandarin.

Maybe people don't read the whole character? Just the first and last strokes?

[iPrank]
