Yes, the mind does unscramble stuff like that easily. It's a natural process because the mind is pattern/meaning seeking processor. It looks for patterns to throw at the conscious mind rather than waiting till it has all the information. A delay could see you walking one step too far into a tree if it failed to decode the distance between you and the tree by noticing the patterns. (Distance, pace direction etc).
This also relates to my article of predicting. In looking for pattens the mind predicts. In this case it actually predicted incorrectly because it had unscrambled the word order to give it meaning. It didn't just give you the information that was there it gave you the meaning. Yet you had to look twice to get the information in the order that it was printed.
