- Well, the second more or less reads the same way if you rotate the paper it's
- typed on 180 degrees, and if it's printed in the right font. The first,
- however, when you do that, results in "Simou uow is," not "Simon now is," and
- the third in "3 woss is sowe," not "3 moss is some." Are you perchance a bit
- dyslexic?
