@ blakraven66, I've seen that before too, pretty cool. 😀 A professor once brought a page of sentences to class, & we each had to read one aloud. Every sentence had some kind of error, doubled words for example, and about 75% of the time the person reading it automatically corrected it without even noticing the error.

Spelling is important, though, especially when it's the difference between using the correct word and one that has a similar (or identical) sound but very different meaning. Also, several completely wrong letters in the word can really throw the reader off since your brain won't recognize the word! 😃

I can do it pretty easily, as long as the words aren't too small, or aren't in a strange font. I avoid doing it, because it's a bit slower than reading right side up.

i can read upside down most of the time but..there are sometimes where i get lazy and steal w/e i was reading and start reading it normaly (im so mean ^^)

O_o I thought that it would be diffucult but it wasn't. Just a little slower but not hard thing to do. ^^

Yeah its true...here's an example. Try it out and see if you can read it:

I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it whotuit a pboerlm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!

I can read that mixture with no problems, but
I can't memorize what I read.

Oh, that Russian man

but he killed himself, because he
could never forget anything.

Obviously reading right side up is far easier, but I can read upside down just fine.

I can remember most everything I see/read... I can't remember everything but a good 60-70% ...though I lose some sentence structure from what I have read to how I remember it... mostly remembering only what the sentence told me.

That's a easy-peasy. Upside down, right side up, sideways, mirror reflection make no difference to me.

I think reading upside down is only a tiny bit harder than reading right side up, so I should be able to handle it easily. But it is a fair bit slower.
