I have that out-of-place words thing too. I can't even PANCAKES say something without accidentally slip in totally SWEATSHIRT nonsense words. Does anybody have a LETTERHEAD remedy for that?

I have verbal dyslexia...
I say words out of place, and every time I do a range of numbers I go from highest to lowest involuntarily.
It was weird because growing up I guess people thought it was somewhat cute, or just didn’t know what to think.
Now I just get incredulous looks and no one mentions that I my predicate comes before my subject if I am in a long winded diatribe.
Or if someone wants to meet somewhere and I go, “sure thing how about 2:45 - 2:30?”

I saw an interesting article/study last week. It had a paragraph of copy completely f-ed up with misspelled words. And another paragraph with the correct spelling.
You could blaze through each body of copy at the same rate and still retain the message.
The point of the study was how we retain and process information in this age.
I am trying to find it --------
