TDS vs. Dyslexia

As some of you may or may not know, I'm somewhat dyslexic. I was a lot more dyslexic when I was younger, but now I've mostly grown out of it or just learned how to cope better. However, I still sometimes see things switched around. I don't see letters moving like some dyslexics do (unless I'm really tired, but lots of things move then), for me it's more like, "I swear that said something else." Also, if I'm trying to read fast and I'm not paying much attention to the word, I may think it says something that's spelled similarly. This also makes spelling hard, especially since I get vowels switched.

Anyways, there's a little tire store near us called Tire Distribution Systems. They have a big TDS on their sign. Well, being dyslexic, can you imagine what I saw when I first glimpsed this sign out of the corner of my eye? Think of initials you learn in sex ed...

Random quote from my husband:
"I'm so backwards I make backwards look forwards."
