      I only developed dislexia while reading that sign. I’m all better now.

      I am not dyslexic, and I still read ‘Prostate’ at first glance..

      I would never not call the place Prostate Coffee and they’d get so much more business from me and the people I brought.

      Terrible name? Fucking awesome name. We’re going to Prostate Coffee this morning, don’t be a pain in the ass about it.

      Hahaha I used to stay near Dongmen station in Taipei and whenever I walked past that coffee shop, I would automatically read it the other way before I remembered that it’s not supposed to be prostate

    5. Had my vasectomy yesterday so thought it might just have been on my mind, turns out everyone’s reading it the same

      Do you hate meeting new people? My dyslexic friend gets really upset when I try to have her meet new people. Like the other day she got upset when I sent her a text saying I was gonna introduce her to Alan.

      It’s the whole word recognition part of the brain, we don’t read words letter by letter, we snap the first and last and process them by the context. It’s called typoglycemia.

      Prostate is a word we recognize. Protaste is not.

    8. Tihs is not jsut lmiited to poelpe wtih dslyxeia.

      As long as the first and last letter are correct, and the word length is correct, you can probably read it without much effort. This is a known phenomena, so your brain will present ‘prostate’ as a candidate out of sheer reflex
