I always wonder if these eye-mind-manipulation games are designed by freemasons.

People like me who did well in school, I secretly earned were not liked by English teachers. I was not an Anglo,but Slavic,and reading,and reading others errors came easy.Though it always bugged me.
They were ticked off the teens of British-descent, were goofing off and stoned,because they had their parents to rely on.

sorry, this probably sounds like a rant. I have been awake along time.

I had no problem at all reading this. I venture to guess that is probably because I grew up accustomed to reading the filthy twisted words of the Wall Steet Journal and the New York Times, so I have learned to recognize them, LOL.

If English is your second language, you will probably have a problem Les.
I did not have a problem either Bill. My friend then sent a message, with everything spelled backwards,
took some time, but I could read it. Our minds are amazing.

Lol, read through it fine ... thanks for sharing this, very interesting (maybe Les is right and this is really a trick of the Masons! :shock: ). I think, however, that estimation of 55 out of 100 who can read it must be generationally based. Before your brain can recognize and understand the word the word must be in your vocabulary to begin with. The paragraph above UNjumbled would probably be beyond the comprehension skills of a much larger percentage of the younger population. :roll:

It's done by re-mapping the standard ASCii character set to that of Unicode by using javascript functions. It's not really upside down it just creates the illusion that it is.

Depending on which browser you are using and what charset is in use will decide exactly how it appears. On some less compliant browsers it simply doesn't work at all. Some very interesting effects can be obtained by using two or more iterations, for example, a one pass inversion with lower case reduction appears thus:

ʇ! pɐɹʍɹoɟ sႡ!ʇ pәɐɹ uɐɔ noʎ ɟ! iʇʇuɐɹoɯd! sɐʍ ƃu!ႨәdႨs ʇoႡnႡƃʇ sɐʎႨʍɐ ! puɐ Ⴁәɐʎ ¿ႡnႡ ƃ!ɯuɐzɐ ˙әႡoႨʍ ɐ sɐ poɹʍ әႡʇ ʇnq 'ɟәႨʇs! ʎq ɹәʇәʇႨ ʎәʌɹә pәɐɹ ʇou soәp p!uɯ uɯɐnႡ әႡʇ әɐәsnɔq s! sႡ!ʇ ˙ɯႨɹәoqd ɐ ʇ!nʇoႡʍ ʇ! pәɐɹ ႨႨʇ!s uɐɔ noʎ puɐ sәsɯ Ⴈʇoɐʇ ɐ әq uɐɔ ʇәsɹ әႡʇ ˙әɐႨɔd ʇ!Ⴁƃɹ әႡʇ u! әq ɹәәʇʇႨ ʇɐsႨ puɐ ʇ!sɹɟ әႡʇ ʇႡɐʇ s! ƃuႡ!ʇ ʇuʇɯɐoɹd! ʎuႨo әႡʇ 'әɹɐ poɹʍ ɐ u! sәɹәʇʇႨ әႡʇ ɹpɹәo ʇႡɐʍ u! ɹʇәɐʇɯ ʇ,ouәsp ʇ!

Re-mapping a second time appears as this:

¡ cdnuoႨt bႨvә¡әә taႡt ¡ cႨuod auႨacႨty uәsdnatnrd waႡt ¡ was rdan¡әg. tႡә pႡaonmnәaႨ pwәor of tႡә Ⴁmuan mn¡d, aoccdrn¡g to a rscႡәәarcႡ at cmabr¡gdә u¡nәrvt¡sy, ¡t dsәno't mtaәtr ¡n waႡt oәrdr tႡә Ⴈttәrәs ¡n a wrod arә, tႡә oႨny ¡proamtnt t¡Ⴁng ¡s taႡt tႡә frs¡t and Ⴈsat Ⴈttәәr bә ¡n tႡә rgႡ¡t pcႨaә. tႡә rsәt can bә a taotႨ msәs and you can s¡tႨႨ raәd ¡t wႡotu¡t a pboәrႨm. t¡Ⴁs ¡s bcusәaә tႡә Ⴁuamn mn¡d dәos not raәd әrvәy Ⴈtәtәr by ¡stႨәf, but tႡә wrod as a wႨoႡә. azanm¡g ႡuႡ? yaәႡ and ¡ awႨyas tgႡuႡot sႨpәႨ¡ng was ¡pmoranttı ¡f you can raәd t¡Ⴁs forwrad ¡t

Some of the characters remain unchanged from Unicode the second time because the ASCii conversion is one way on certain characters. In Unix (Linux) they are known as Dead keys since they cannot be re-mapped by conventional means so we end up with an interesting mixture of Unicode and ASCii characters.

It takes the original posters idea to the extreme but I find I can still read the latter text even though it looks a little like a mixture of Russian and Greek :shock:

I have no problem reading that, believe I may be dyslexic, so it was pretty easy to read, LOL.
