Similar to kerning (the spacing between letters); fonts with bad kerning make the word look like keming.

So is rhotacism (inability to pronounce "R"). Funnily enough, it also has the "R" sound in Ukrainian (картавість - Cyrillic "р" corresponds to the rolling "R" sound) and Russian

Same thing with the guy who named it 'dyslexia.'
10 1 ReplyThis word is actually not named maliciously at all. From Greek:
“Dys,” meaning “bad,” or “abnormal,” like in Dysfunctional
“Lexia” from “Lexis,” meaning “reading.” Think of “lexicon.”
So now you have a perfectly normal word in Greek that came to the modern age and now is ironic because it’s not exactly native
