Do you read things backwards sometimes? I do, and wonder if this is just me.

I see little difference between a "b" and "d" they are the same letter, it just depends on which side of it you are looking at it.

Yes, I do. I b and d are the same letter as far as I am concerned. I write backwards as well.

I make a point of trying to read things backwards sometimes to see if they make more sense that way. Sometimes they do!
I also very often begin to write words starting with the second letter of the word rather than the first, and I confuse 'F' with 'V' when I'm writing.

I don't read things backwards but I very frequently find myself writing 'd's instead of 'g's and vice versa when handwriting.

Yeah that irritates me beyond belief. I'm constantly having to cross out words that have g's in instead d's.

Usually just for fun. I can read upside-down, too, but I suppose most people can do that.

I can read things backwards if they're written that way, or upside-down, or any other way, but I don't do it unintentionally to normal text.

I can read backwards and upside-down very well, about as fast as I can read forwards but not quite, so I choose to read things the normal way... right-side-up and forwards.

I used to write backwards on purpose because it looks kinda like a foreign language! Well that's what the 'un-educated' see!
