The brain is mysterious.

I've always been in awe of how the brain can work around something such as letter order due to the combinations that we have stored through education. It really is, we see what we want to see. We read what we assume is there. We make words and sense of things that should not make sense. Is this how we order the world around us as well. Is it why we see what we want to see? New and foreign objects or ideas are categorized into what we already know because we wish to understand it or because we wish not to understand it. If only all things worked like wdros do! Then we could simply fill a car skeleton with all the parts it normally needs to function but in any old order and it would still work! That would be a REAL junker car :D
