This is a myth, inaccurate and was debunked years ago.
Your reading speed drops by as much as 10%

I think you have missed the point....

It's also possible to only have the top halves of the mixed up words visible and read it too, only the bottom half is quite a bit difficult.

Doesnt matter if your reading speed does drop, you can still read it.


Mungo - how do you type upside down, are you standing on your head?!

 

[Ahjno]

That's cool.
I was quite surprised I had no trouble at all reading that, taken into mind I'm not a native speaker. Heard of it before and read a few texts in dutch - interesting non the less.

Upside down and 'tnorf ot kcab' i can read and write nae bother, thou my spelling isn't that much better, the legibility improves.

swmbo occasionally reads snippits from whatever book she is reading, but I know from readin over her dhoulder that she doesn't actually read every word on the page. Not a problem when reading a novel or just after the gist of a book, but for academic texts and sentences where a missing word turns the meaing inside out, then it is a real handicap.

reading the text at the top of this page was like trying to read when a bit tipsy or in low light. the words are still there and readable but it takes a fraction of a second longer to recognise it
