Lysdexia is fnu

What my brain originally delivered:
"glass-free steak cleaner"

What the line actually said:
"Does anyone have a good recipe for a streak-free glass cleaner?"

For me, the occasional tendency to scramble words and letters is amusing, because my linguistic co-processor is powerful enough to prevent it from impacting my reading or writing. (It's fatal in math, but I don't try to do my own math for anything important, so that's no longer a problem.)

It's happening to me more and more. One night in a pub, I was struggling for the word "episode" and the word "edition" kept intruding.

You know those road signs you see occasionally that say "Road Subject To Flooding?"

The darling fiance' once parsed that as "Road Subject To Pudding."

:D

You know, when I read the original thought, I came up with glass cleaner... and I had to re-read a couple of times to see the difference between what you read and what it actually said!
