Nobody knows I reversed the number.

Professor Ambrose Penwose, Kiwi

I was just informed of an organization known as DAM…
Mother’s Against Dyslexia.

First impressions are not always ideal and I suggest the reverse of the former may be worse than the later.

My students at The University are studying Dyslexia 101…
Nobody knows I reversed the number.
I told them to sit in alphabetical order. That may take awhile?

I wrote on the board that Dyslexics question the existence of GOD…

That is REALLY FUNNY, as well as tragic, and not what you think it is.
I wrote it the right way, which is the wrong way, on the board, however when writing this, I meant to write, “They question the existence of DOG, but I must be dyslexic because I wrote it backwards?

Here’s something interesting, one of my sources tells me that the word “dyslexia,” was discovered in 1885, yet “dyslexic,” which defines as, “a person subject to or having dyslexia,” not until 1960, which means they knew what it was, but nobody had it?
Which asks another question. If nobody had it than how did they know it was there? Are we to assume they sat and waited for almost a hundred years for someone to do what is done by dyslexics?

I needed to know just exactly what this dyslexia was? After searching several dictionaries I still needed to know. The definitions were all pretty much the same, with this being the briefest…

English Language Learners Definition of dyslexia
medical : a condition in the brain that makes it hard for a person to read, write, and spell.

Every definition from every source had that to say with no mention of reversing letters or numbers, which we today associate with dyslexia.

I was finally able to find this:
Difficulty in reading when experienced by persons with normal vision and normal or above-normal intelligence. A common example of dyslexia is reading words with the letters in reverse order, as in fyl for fly .

Why was this factor not more prevalent?


We must always remember the reverse is just the opposite.

Some day, perhaps I will have to do an exposé on The Devil’s Dictionary, which I just sought for a meaningful meaning to dyslexic, which unfortunately was at yet, not yet invented when the dictionary was.
It’s definitions are like nowhere else. Take for instance…
EAT, v.i. To perform successively (and successfully) the functions of mastication, humectation, and deglutition.

I looked up none of the words given but assume they relate to chewing, swallowing, and digesting. Below is their use of the word, which I fine amusing…

"I was in the drawing-room, enjoying my dinner," said Brillat-Savarin, beginning an anecdote.
"What!" interrupted Rochebriant; "eating dinner in a drawing-room?"
"I must beg you to observe, monsieur," explained the great gastronome, "that I did not say I was eating my dinner, but enjoying it. I had dined an hour before."

Is it any wonder I named my Penwose, Ambrose.
