According to a research at an English university, it does not matter
in which order the characters in a word are shown.
The only thing important is that the first and last character
are in the correct position.
The position of the other characters in that word is then not important
further, you still can understand what is written there.
The cause of this phenomenon is that we do not read the characters
individually, but the word as a whole.
