  Exactly if you aren't comfortable with the idea that glyphs are distinct and order can be assumed to matter. This article can't possibly be scoped for someone like that.

    > Exactly if you aren't comfortable with the idea that glyphs are distinct and order can be assumed to matter. But isn't that exactly what it's just telling you? The order is important and if you see this very simple pattern it's wrong. If you read any latin character based language then you surely must be OK with the idea that glyphs can be distinct? Are there many people who exclusively read languages where the order of symbols is not important? > There's a side note here, that dyslexia can become apparent in very different written languages.[0] If the point is that dyslexia means some people can't see the difference then that's fair, I'd not come at it from that angle. I don't see any surprising pre-assumed knowledge in this IJ/JI distinction however.
