I know, I know Very Happy --> It's because when we read we only pay attention to the first and last letter of a word. It's an automatic process while reading. Rarely we look at each of the letters a word consists of.

You're absolutely right pal, I think we're the only ones in the forum lately, here's the second part of the piece:

As long as the first and last letter of the word is in its correct position, you can position the middle letters in any order and still make sence of it. Our eyes just glance at he first and last letters of a word.

Isn't it amazing?
