It deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny
iprmoetnt tihng is taht frist and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae. Tihs
is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe.

Surely misspelling Cincinnati isn't counted as a 'mistake' since
there must be a lot of popular ways to spell it, such as Cinncinnati,
Cincinatti, Cincinnatti, Cincinatti, and maybe something with an S in
there.

I think that people in Cincinnati must be very sensitive about it, but
then probably the people in Pitsburg OH, which is not so far away, also
think that people shouldn't be spelling the name of their city like that
of Pittsburgh PA.
