Thanks josh.

And now for the glass is half-empty take ...

Not to downplay the coolness factor, but when I started playing with this, I found there was a big difference between the small ordering changes in their sample and major reordering in larger words. My subject line attests to that. Double-letter combos that act as one sound seem to cause the most trouble when separated. So yeah, I guess the order still matters a little, but certainly not as much as I would have thought prior to seeing this.
