Can't say I suffer from dyslexia as far as I know, but my brain very often works "too fast for the words". I nearly always see "shopfitters" as "shoplifters" for example, and have to read it twice.
Today's example is from our local rag, where the headline is as below. My brain read the first word as "Jane" and it conjured up such a weird image that again, I had a "what the heck?" moment and had to re-read it more slowly.
The headline is:
Jack Russell rescued by fire service after becoming trapped in hole for 6 hours near Barrington
Anyone else have wordy problems like this?
