	Actually, I read what has been described as "Obsc enely fast"
myself. The word(s) I use are perfectly existent (according to the
OED); I describe myself as ambisinistrous, or ambilaevous, posessed
of two left hands.

The connection to dyslexia is that dyslexia is highly associated
with left-handedness, especially suppressed left-handedness. Most
dyslexics find it a near impossibility to tell left from
right.  I also have the classic dyslexic clumsiness, and reading
library of Congress numbers or the like (Any nonsystematic
conglomeration of letters and numbers) I produce classis dyslexic
error, 6 for 9, or S for 6, H (or A) for 4, and so on.
