I dedicate the following to the aggressive **Grammar Police on this board:

Misspelling is another word that is mispelled allot, along with grammer. Its not that hard two take the time end get it's correct spelling, weather or not your to busy. I wish they're was a more polite way of telling people that their spelling things incorrectly, then pointing it out in an asinine post, but some times its necessary, even if I feel badly about it. I'm not sure if the casualty of the bored may be the reason words are continuously mispelled, but I do no it makes me want too kick them in the prostrate.
There, according to Firefox, I only have two misspelled words in the entire paragraph! Fore some reason know I'm hungry for some deserts through...

Wow, that's so cool how easy it is to read.
Shouldn't it be "A TSOAT to the Grammar Police"?
Just for fun, by the rules of this idea, a snip of Al Featherston, DBR, 10/29/07 (as interpreted by this site):O lny srmat poelpe can raed tihs.

From Cambridge, a rather interesting discussion of the whole thing.
-jkClive Tooth has found what may be most ambiguous jumbled sentence (using words like "salt" which becomes "slat" when transposed)
"The sprehas had ponits and patles"
This might come out as...
The sherpas had pitons and plates.
The shapers had points and pleats.
The seraphs had pintos and petals.
The sphaers had pinots and palets.
The sphears had potins and peltas.
Clive lists some of the more obscure words in this set of possible readings:
palets: paleae (a part of a grass flower)
peltas: shields
pinots: grapes
potins: copper alloys
sphaers, sphears: both old form of 'spheres'
Usage note from dictionary.com:
Click here to read the rest (didn't want to copy too much)Usage Note: The distinction in meaning between healthy ("possessing good health") and healthful ("conducive to good health") was ascribed to the two terms only as late as the 1880s. This distinction, though tenaciously supported by some critics, is belied by citational evidence—healthy has been used to mean "healthful" since the 16th century.
