Mild Dyslexia

When I was in grade school, they told me that I had a mild form of dyslexia. Who knows? I guess it's true, but at the time they were diagnosing dyslexia the way they diagnose attention disorders today.

Anyway, it does pop up in the most unexpected ways. Our Sonic Drive In has on its sign this phrase:

SAUSAGE BISCUIT

DIPPERS

unfortunately, to me it looks like

SAUSAGE BISCUIT

DIAPERS

In my opinion, they have to change the font. It freaks me out everytime I drive past it.

This helps explain why I am such a lousy speller, but it can only take so much of the blame. On the whole, I am a bad speller and moderately attentive typist.

Happy 010th post!

Wait, check that, Happy 100th post!
