I got it too, from a friend of mine.
Here was my reply.

It also says some thing about typing skills and the power of the Spell 
Checker.
There were only 3 words mine had no suggestion for:

phaomnneil [phenomenal] no i

iprmoetnt [important] no a

wouthit [without] too much randomness

It does catch wiuhtot, I checked, I think it's the proximity of each 
pair of letters in sequence.
In this case the "wi", "ht, and "ot" mean it should be a word.

Maybe it  also means there's a little dyslexia in all of us, struggling 
to get out :-)
[I just did it again,  *dyslexia*  is even in my dictionary, and 
"smileys" are a valid punctuation]
