    Does anyone else ever see numbers in reverse ?

    Weird question ....
    I never told anyone this before because I thought it was kind of unimportant, but I just wanted to see if i'm the only person here who sometimes reads numbers backwards ......

    Example .... about 40% of the time, if I see a number quickly --- like 74 ... i'll remember it as seeing 47.

    I've learned to over come this by saying the number to myself sometimes over and over.

    I have no problem with letters or words.
    Just numbers.

    Is that crazy ?

    I've done it myself with numbers as well. Often when I do a quick glancew and not give the # my full attention I will do that

    Dyslexia is language...Dyscalculia is numbers.

    I believe I have mild lysdexia. Occasionally with both numbers and letters. Sometimes when I am writing, I will write the work backwards for no reason. I blame a glich in the Matrix.

    Crossword puzzles, happens all the time. Programming, never happened at all. I think I'm just lazy and don't pay attention to details unless absolutely necessary.
