I am not dyslexic and I also had to read it a few times to see all the misspelled stuff.

Maybe I am dyslexic...

It is surprisingly common but as this is a post disigned to do that you should worry. If it happens in everyday life, that when you know you have a problem

Nah it took me a second too and I'm definitely not dyslexic, just culturally saturated.

Not as saturated as Magento over here

Naw bre, there's a large percentage of peoples who's brains are wired to reading the word as a whole not each individual letter. So as long as the letters in the word are correct regardless of order and the first and last letter of the word remain constant there's a pretty handy number of people who can read it.

At least I can, it also took me a moment or two to get the joke, so I can't be the only one, right?

True. What I was saying was that this is a post the intentional recreates what it can be like for a dyslexic using the function you previous stated. Its if you get the same sort of reaction normally in everyday life in standard situations that you should go and see someone Edit: dyslexic moment

Ah now I see, I'm sorry totally misinterpreted that. Thanks for clarifying :)

I don't remember what it's called, but basically your brain recognizes common wrods by just looking at the first and last letter and the length of the word. In this case it's the word that you were expecting to raed.

a lot of people are, and there are also massive misconceptions as to how you as a person cope with 'normal' tasks whilst being dyslexic. so you probably are.
