And finally, a related perceptual matter. You've probably seen this before, but it's always somewhat amazing to me (does anyone have a theory as to why it's iprmoatnt taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae?   Dear Gary,   There is a lot of research showing the importance that primacy (coming first) and coming last (as in the last word) have upon the general significance we attach to events in a series, which events we recall, and how we act in response to them.  This is makes sense does it not?  First impressions and last impression are the most important.  First impression orient and last impressions conclude.  Our attitudes and actions are mostly based upon our orientations and conclusions. Moreover in the case of recognizing words,  first and last letters set their visual boundaries and the number of letters between seem to serve mainly as a way of sorting words into important (short) and bullshit (long).       Try this:   I  b_t   y_u  c_n  r_ _ d  e_ _ n  t_ _s  s_ _ _ _ _ _ e.   OK  -- maybe not LOL.   Right now I'm writing a rather too longish response to Joe!   Jim Piat   --- Message from peirce-l forum to subscriber archive@mail-archive.com
