I don't have much trouble with reading text but I am prone to transposing digits when I read numbers (particularly long numbers such as phone numbers, credit card numbers, account numbers). I wonder if there is a sub-type of dyslexia that is limited to numbers?


Dyscalculia. I've known other people have that same problem too; thankfully it's more annoying than demoralising like dyslexia can be.


Ah ah ah! I am Count Dyscalculia. I vont to suck your cerebral cortex.


Oh good, I'm not the only one that thought that!


I occasionally transpose digits but I'm pretty sure I don't have dyscalculia (I have a degree in math).
