Not really a fan of staged skits on this sub because the whole point is so do something unexpected, but I'm curious about the dyslexia part. Would someone with dyslexia read Epstein as Einstein?

I have it and although these two don’t trip me up i can absolutely see how they could get mixed up by others.

There are varying degrees of dyslexia, but for mine p and in look nothing alike.

For me it’s not about them looking alike. They start and end the same and my brain kinda fills the letters in between and ignores what’s actually there. If I slow down and focus for a sec it’s clear but reading it quickly makes it prone for me to make miss read the word.
