How do you explain this?

Do you think that there is any such thing as 'occasional' dyslexia? Or a condition that would cause occasional dyslexic like reactions? I do not have dyslexia. But occasionally I do read things backwards. Like if something says, "you should ____", I'll read, "should you _____". This doesn't happen to me very often. It happens maybe once a year or less. What do you think, is there a scientific explaination as to why a non-dyslexic person would occasionally have a dyslexic like response? Does this ever happen to anyone else? Just curious.

I think that stress can cause something like that - makes it hard to concentrate and even read.

I see kids invert things quite a lot. For them it sometimes is not paying attention. For someone older, I would say you are tired, distracted, or your brain is running ahead of you. I do not think it is anything to worry about. It is a human thing.
