Fair enough, but it's still interesting that random arrangements of the
internal letters, at least up to some limited distance from their original
position, causes almost no slowdown in reading.  Complete inversion of the
above sort is another kettle of fish entirely, and I'm not sure that its
effects are really crartnoy to the cmials of the ueticnd rcraeseh.
Maybe if someone actually cetid that rcraeseh we could find out. :)
