Actually, as far as I can tell, how do we know that we do see things up side down? Certianly the image on the retina is inverted, but interpretation of that information is the job of the visual cortex.

I was thinking about this exact same thing the other day! I decided eventually that it is neither the correct way up or the upside down, because there is no up and down inside the brain.

I'd love to know what dislexia is like. I ought to study up on it. :)
it's really annoying, actually. my mind likes to reverse letters and sometimes numbers and I have to constantly "rehearse" what I need to say before I say it.
which is why I hate talking on the phone and well, talking in general. it's Exhusting!

whenever someone gives me a phone number I have to repeat the number about 5 times to make sure I have it right.

strangely, I've never had a big problem with math. and one has to use algebra with animation all the time. and I have no problems there, either. (well, I use a calculous to save time. but my point is that i can do these things without making mistakes).

well, it's a giant pain, but it's the way my brain works and there's nothing I can do about it. you just have to spend alot of time compensating. I'm sure many of my time-saving habits so well appreciated by bosses are a result of this "problem" and my having to learn to deal with it.

@blob

What about a text randomizer program? Something that preserves the overall sequence of words but jumbles up the letters in them?

Or is that not quite the effect?
