Yep, I can read it. But you would still have to spell to know that you are getting the right letters in the word.

Absolutely... And along the same lines, the brain has to already know the word. If it's a new word the brain wont acknowledge it.

Yup, I can read it (had to work at a couple words). I can even read Roxy's when she's channeling Leonardo da Vinci.

I can read it but the urge to fix the spelling is unbearable! GAH!

Actually, during my stint in the navy (while protecting the free world from the conmmunist threat) I was taught to read and write backwards. This was so we could post info on glass boards from the back, that the glorious leadership could then read from the front. An odd skill to say the least.
