            @soren The irregular shapes of the commonly transposed letters (b, d, p, q) make it much easier for dyslexics to resolve.

                @soren There's also a font called Open Dyslexic, and a nicer one called Lexia specifically optimised for those factors. Comic Sans is just a coincidence

                  @ceruleanspark I can vouch for Open Dyslexic ( http://opendyslexic.org/ ) ... not because I am dyslexic, but know a lot of people whom do, and they generally prefer it if I can print out something with ( and I quote one person on this ) "sort of weirdish letters I can read better"

                    @critialcloudkicker @ceruleanspark I just found out I committed to a false-truth myself... the person who said that is not dyslexic. He's an autistic 8 year old with ADHD and Autism. ( oops... well, still something, right, I need to find myself a new quotee on the actual dyslecic part though )

                  @ceruleanspark @soren I always just preferred off white paper. Though reading not really my issue
