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 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. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit pobelrm. Tihs is buseace the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

If this is so then verna is a Grade one. She read Architectural Salvage as Architectural Sausage!

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

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

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!!

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.

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.

Dyslexia the excuse thing?
