Good catch. "Greenenvlope" and down further, "greenvelope." I suppose most of you have seen those studies that show misspelled words that have the correct first and last letters and maybe a couple of correct letter combinations like "th" where most see the word immediately.

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

The above is extreme, of course, but it doesn't take much for one to read words as a whole.
