"Hello" and "Olleh" have matching reverse pronunciations. Does it also come naturally to you to prononce "tuohguorht" as the reverse of "throughout"?

  > Does it also come naturally to you to prononce "tuohguorht" as the reverse of "throughout"? I'm not a native English speaker so the pronunciation of that kind of word (with gh and th) is not immediate to me. I know how to pronounce "throughout" more by tongue memory than by actual thinking. I can picture "tuohguorht" clearly in my head but most likely don't pronounce it how it should if it were a real word. But you highlight a good point here. I can very easily picture the forward and backward spelling, though I'm just "reading out loud the reversed word", I'm not actually reversing the sound as the person in the article,so it's a different form of visualisation, based on letters rather than sounds.
