Dyslexia
 

Can it become more severe as you get older as I keep mis-reading things
i.e Action camera was atomic camera


Or, is it just the ramblings of a befuddled mind:D with some hilarious results

People do read what they want, normaly only if the first and last letter are the same as what you want to see, e.g. once i was rining some one with last name "Durling" that name is not stored on my phone but when it said "Dialing" i thought it said "Durling" i wouldnt worry if i were you untill you notice it a lot more. I would of also thought that you would notice it more in your spelling as well.

To illustrate your point Holdup:

Arocdnicg to rsceearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer are in the rghit pcale.

No, I'm not dyslexic but I do find I read stuff wrong sometimes, it amuses me more than anything else. If it starts to become more of a burden than a quirk then it could be more serious but tbh if you're tired and not thinking straight then it will happen more often. I wouldn't worry about it :-)

Re: Dyslexia
 

I do the same thing occasionally. I make assumptions about what something says with only a brief glance. Then a few seconds later it sinks in that it doesn't make sense and I go back and read it properly.

It's been happening more lately. I must be going nuts at the ripe old age of 32 :mad:

Well I'm 21 and I do it loads at the moment, probably because I've been tired and stressed a lot of late. It's worse being a student though, for one of my recent exams I read the word "paraphyletic" as "paralytic" on more than one occasion, I was so paranoid I'd end up writing that in the exam!!

Re: Dyslexia
 

I have slight dyslexia, it's not really that strong..

I can type fine, and talk and write without really many issues and the like but I sometimes muddle up words, not you're/your or the like, but more often things like queue/cue or something. I also, when writing.. get p's and b's and d's muddled up, or read a number as 1437 when it's actually 1347 or something. Didn't have a problem a year ago, started creeping along over the last year or so and in the last 6 months it's started to really irritate me. It comes in, or goes out of my mind right, but it comes out wrong. :D

Perhaps it's just stress, maybe it's something to do with being this age, maybe it's because I'm bored or have other things on my mind.
