I mean, I get your point, but I feel like this is something different. I sailed through school and university with great grades with barely any effort, never felt any kind of pressure around that on me. The worst it got was the occasional vocab test that I put off learning for until the evening before. I liked school. And I still get this kind of dream occasionally. So at this point, it seems more like anxiety will just latch onto that kind of thing, whether it was actually traumatic or not

Okay, but the economics of doing that are different between software and hardware. It's much more expensive to have a full second hardware design compared to just turning a software feature off in certain markets.

That's super interesting, and a funny personal story, thanks for sharing!

A lot of the time I actually just guess what word something is based on length and context

I mean, as far as I know that, plus the rough shape/outline of each word, is how fast non-dyslexic readers read in general, at least for common words, haha. Actually reading letter-by-letter is relatively rare

So I've been wondering about this, does this kind of font make reading easier immediately for you, or does it take a bit until you've gotten used to and, idk, learned the shapes of the individual letters, after which it's then faster?
