Just Out of Curiosity
Just out of curiosity, do you have trouble reading the titles of books when they sit on shelves vertically? I mean when the words go top down? I have to say that I can't make out the words without tilting my head to the side and that makes my neck go sore in a short while (and probably makes me look stupid to others).

Just Out of Curiosity
Just out of curiosity, do you have trouble reading the titles of books when they sit on shelves vertically? I mean when the words are vertical go top down? I have to say that I can't make out the words without tilting my head to the side and that makes my neck go sore in a short while (and probably makes me look stupid to others). (You could also say, in a jocular fashion "This gives me a pain in the neck) Look this idiom up!!!

So I just tried, it takes longer to read, but its still doable. I find that I have to tilt my head when I'm reading the y axis label of a graph though.

I guess it all comes down to the familiarity you have with (the form of) the language. And thank you for sharing your thought with me.

I don't have this problem - just checked)) maybe it appears when you don't read every day. I work with words, so it seems that I can read them even upside down:\ But I don't think that tilting the head is weird. almost anyone do it))

Thank you, Leigh, for your comment. "Library posture" huh? I actually like that. But does the fact that you didn't correct anything mean that the wording in this bit is okay to you? I am especially not sure of "go top down". And I was also wondering if "sit on shelves vertically" was not weird at all.
