In all seriousness, though I have often wondered about dyslexia. Early in my years it was explained by people getting letters swapped around and mixed up. It must be much more complex than that as we probably have all seen the things on the internet where paragraphs are built out of words where the first and last letter and the number of letters is correct, but the letters in between are garbage. Or the words are actually made from numbers. Or a variety of ways to scramble the words, including backwards and upside down. I can read these paragraphs nearly as fast as normal text. So it cannot be simple scrambling of letters because I can read that no problem. What I have trouble reading, however, are posts on FR where the quotes turn into random ascii characters, I wonder if it is more like that where the shapes of the letters themselves get all wonky which distracts my eyes enough to render the text unreadable.
