I've seen this before somewhere, but yeah I could read it. I can read things that are situated upside down, or sideways. However, I cannot read things that happen to be situated both upside down and sideways at once. This is easy to read. Nothing compared to the scribbles my new boss puts on paper for my list of work to do.

I've read it before too, and it makes sense. Imagine being unable to read a word because of one mispelled letter.

This is interesting, and it reminds me (in reverse) of the time my son was learning to read. He has mild dyslexia, so learning to read caused him quite a few problems.
When we were practicing and he was reading things out to me, he'd lose interest, and he'd start reading words such as "smart," and say instead "short."

This would happen a lot, whenever he got a word wrong, the first and last letter would always be the same as the original in the text.

Intriguing stuff...

It's called Typoglecemia, and yeah, this is all too common. Seen this many times before (even wrote a paper in this format).
