Spelling isn't important?

Try reading this paragraph.
"Royu ribna is vdieddi nito wot lhasev, nkwno as het grtih nda etlf ecrbrlea emhierpsseh. Ahec of etseh emhierpsseh is amed up fo bselo hwihc rea esprensbiol orf fideftner hgtnsi. Het rfotlan belo asedl twhi royu omosd nad hebrivoua nad meso ovtlunyar ovmtmesne. Eltmorap bselo on ahec dsei fo royu ribna mese to elda twhi eymmor, nsodu nad pesehc. Het cioclpita belo at het ckab fo het ribna esalysan hatw oyu ese."

Now, try reading this paragraph.
"Yuor biarn is dviedid itno two hlaevs, kownn as the rhigt and lfet cberreal himespehers. Ecah of teshe himespehers is mdae up of lboes wihch are repsosnilbe for driffneet tinhgs. The fonrtal lboe daels wtih yuor mdoos and bahevoiur and smoe vlunotray mvoemnets. Tmepoarl lboes on ecah sdie of yuor biarn seem to dael wtih momery, sunod and seepch. The ocpcital lboe at the bcak of the biarn alynases waht yuo see."

Most will find the second paragraph easier to comprehend than the first. Why is this so, you may ask. Both paragraphs are exactly the same only with the words jumbled up differently. Amazingly, the human brain reads words as a whole and not letter by letter. With the first and last letter of each word in the correct place, readers are able to decipher the words easily and read it as a whole. When the words are scrambled up like in the first paragraph, it is difficult for the reader to make out each word. So, does this mean that spelling of words correctly are no longer of importance? ;)

Anyway, just in case you have difficulty trying to make out the entire paragraph, here's what i actually wrote.

"Your brain is divided into two halves, known as the right and left cerebral hemispheres. Each of these hemispheres is made up of lobes which are responsible for different things. The frontal lobe deals with your moods and behaviour and some voluntary movements. Temporal lobes on each side of you brain seem to deal with memory, sound and speech. The occipital lobe at the back of the brain analyses what you see."
