Dyslexia

Russian: a very screwy language. Extremely boxy. Really. There are only two lowercase later that break out of the half-lineness:
the "у"(=u btw.) and the "б",
which sticks out like a sore thumb because of the wavy tail thing. It's like someone decided to use a letter from a different alphabet for that thing. It bothers my CDO...
that and also coupled with the fact that I have trouble reading that stuff quickly because of things like:
в = v
н = n
у = u
с = s
х = h
р = r
(all are lowercase btw, which is extra screwy. Except not, because it makes things easier...)
That and the simple fact that I forget how some of the screwier letters are pronounced like:
д = d
ж =zh
ш = sh(hard)
щ = sh(soft)
ц = ts
и = i
ы = iy
ю = u (as in unicycle)
ф = f
л = l
э = e (as in escalator, not to be confised with 'e' which is pronounced 'ye')

And then there are wonderful words that use these letters all together: пинй (not an actual word, but as you can tell, they all look VERY similar...) and then there is the magic of cursive, which looks nothing like print:
г = г
п = п (it looks just like an N)
л = л
д = д
и = и
т = т (so... how does a T become an M???)

Sad news is that they actually use cursive here. Everybody writes cursive, unlike in America. Peachy...

The end effect is that I don't read any signs, or instructions, or anything for that matter (heck I can't even read fast enough to catch the subtitles to a show.) So essentially I have become dyslexic. And it sucks.

For all you people with Dyslexia out there: I feel for you!
