Being dyslexic is one of those kinds of challenges.  I am only able to read
"Chic-a-Fil" no matter how hard I try.  It must be the style of lettering.

Reading to my daughter was so amusing to her she still likes it (at almost
20).  I can read the same story 10 times and it will be a little different
every time.

Oddly enough I do great proof reading because I SEE each word.  Maybe not in
order mind you, but English is a natural for me and my dad made sure I knew
how to spell (or else..)
