Here's how Microsoft word corrected above.
-Occurring to a rscheearch at Cambridge Uinervtisy, it doesn’t matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only pigment thing is that the first and last letter be at the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it outfit problem. This is busier the human mind does not read every letter by istle, but the word as a whole.

I've had a couple of semi-insane bosses take me to task frequently for typos. I always used this as a defense, and they never bought it.
