Reading Upside-Down

[V-te]

Hello,

I was thinking about learning to read upside down.
What are the pros and cons?
I personally see it as a way to stimulate the mind, but what are your opinions on it?

 

[curious]

yeah, that would be a good way to stimulate your mind, perhaps google it.

Well start doing it and when you read the normal way you will find that your reading speed has increased

I can do it. It's a strange skill. I struggle to write upside down though, but it is possible.

I tutor kids in math, which pretty much requires that you are able to read their assignment while they are also looking at it (so upside down for you). It feels pretty natural to me now, but I'm not sure if it is very useful for much other than tutoring people ;-)

Reading backwards (i.e. in a mirror) I think would really stimulate your mind

Hmm seems interesting Ill google it

Yeah, Google didn't say much, but I'm worried that I might get too used to it... and have problems later....

It's really easy, only if it's printing though. Trying to read cursive, even my own upside down seems to be quite the challenge.

Although, I learned to read upside down in elementary school and I've been doing it a lot since.

You could start by setting your facebook to "Upside down English"

Or, we could rotate the screen display.

Or, we could rotate the screen display.

That throws up serious problems using a laptop...
