east-west dyslexia
- noun The condition of having an internal representation of
The Land which is a mirror image of the real one. The usual
cause is a wiring of w as "to the right" and
e as "to the left"
in the sufferer's mind. The affliction is very hard to spot -
people have even made wiz with undiagnosed
east-west dyslexia.
Victims can be made aware of their condition if shown a correct
map at the same time as corresponding room descriptions, but
generally they will be incurable by this time. Fortunately,
east-west dyslexia is not fatal. There are no recorded cases of
long-term 'north-south dyslexia' for anything more than an
area or two. Variant spellings: east-west <any
anagram of dyslexia>.
