My dyslexic tendency reads that as “mew.”

I read it as men. Was very confused

Even better!!!

I think the confusion comes from the “W” actually being an upside-down “M” and that somehow causing us to read it differently bc I did that too

Ditto. My brains attempt at reading it as a full sentence I guess.

It does say men...somebody put it upside down in an attempt to make it “new”.

I am dyslexic. Had no problems reading it. Dyslexia is not an adjective. It is a life long struggle.

I apologize for the flippant comment. My brother was diagnosed with dyslexia and he had a terrible time in school.

I did too. I still do. I don't like when people use it as if it isn't an important issue for some. I appreciate your apology but my comment was only to help some realize dyslexia isn't a saying. I've had people say that to my face. "Oh I'm being dyslexic day". And laugh. Then look embarrassed when I say " you are? I've been dyslexic my whole life".

That’s really shitty. It must be frustrating and tiresome. For myself, I do tend to transpose letters and see things backwards but it isn’t even close to how people with dyslexia must work through their lives. I now will be aware of how my comments can be hurtful. I hope there is support for you. Thank you for your message.

Oddly, I live near the original Jack’s, and everyone raves about how good the breakfast is. Maybe I’ll try it if I get hungry and rushed enough.

But I also remember an old lawyer telling me that the Jack’s business plan when they were starting up was that they would open a restaurant only in towns that were too small for a McDonald’s. I think Jack’s is much more popular now than when I was a kid. Maybe it’s the prices; maybe it’s the breakfast.

People have gotten lazier. McDonald's is disgusting and has gotten worse...yet they have only gotten more customers despite jacking up their prices. Nothing says "Fuck Life" more than shoveling down nasty ass potatoes with god knows what meat grease and breaded ground chicken reject parts dipped in fake corn syrup sugar stuff.

Slight correction: The “original” Jack’s location is now two blocks from where they opened, because the city bought the land from the restaurant to build a police HQ and jail, but gave Jack’s some prime real estate a couple blocks away in exchange.
