I have a very mild case of dyslexia that mostly manifests itself in signs and headlines, in which I read things that aren't there.
I remember some years ago I walked past a sign that said "Hotel Eccentric." When I looked again, it said "Hotel Entrance."
I liked it better the first way.
Today, I was shocked at the news headline that police had tackled a Wisconsin lawnmower.
Thinking that police surely have better things to do than wrestle with garden equipment, I looked again, and the tackle-ee was actually a lawmaker.
I leave it to the reader to decide which one is more worth tackling.

We live in a more interesting world than most, that's all.
A much, MUCH more interesting world.
(Dragon/diagonal and elf/tea being misreadings that stuck in my mind.... hey, in the right font, "TEA" looks a little like Elf...)
That sort of thing happens to me all the time! But I don't think it is related to dyslexia.
