After we learn to read, we stop reading every letter in the word. I think that how misreading occurs. Bet you can all read this without any problems:

 

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

Not a thread title, but there was a headline on the BBC news site recently: "fresh tornados pound central US" - which I kept seeing as "fresh tomatoes..." :rolleyes:

 

And I'm glad I have plenty of company seeing this thread as "misleading thread titles" as well :)

I read your post as 'fresh tomatoes' too. I had to read it twice!
