This is pretty brilliant!
What a simple concept too.

quote:

"When they're reading, people with dyslexia often unconsciously switch, rotate and mirror letters in their minds," said Boer, who is dyslexic himself. "Traditional typefaces make this worse, because they base some letter designs on others, inadvertently creating 'twin letters' for people with dyslexia."

You're a sub. He's a Dom. If your dynamic includes Snapple snorting, that's not for anyone outside of you two to judge.

Isn't that a gateway to snorting diet Coke?

Stray thought... Does the agnostic dyslexic insomniac lay awake at night wondering if there is a dog?

But the article has a very good point about confusion in typefaces. Any visual impairment can make the artsy fonts unreadable.

BTW, pastel text on a pastel background is totally unreadable with any glare on a computer screen at all.... there may be a reason why the trolls don't read your profile before sending irrational messages. <snarky grin to those with pastel profiles>

You yourself are more important than a mere profile on some web blight.

Go to a mirror, turn around, and lift your skirt or drop the shorts.

If the date on the label stating the "Must El Before 20xx" date hasn't occurred yet, then you are not past el.

That's all that matters.
