yes. i have number dyslexia. i also have problems with letters- but context helps.

i can't do a proof, cause i always get noncommutaive operations wrong. as a matter of fact polish logic works best for me- no parentheses, just a simple left-to right iteration thus:Kab= conjunction of a and b
KNab= conjunction of not-a, and b
KNaNb= conjunction of not-a and not-b
Cab= if a, then b
CNab= if not-a, then b
KCNabc= conjunction of if not-a, then b, and c
and so on, it iterates. far more perspicuous to my parentheses-phobic (nut only in logic) and dyslexic mind.what i like about it is that it shows how any places each operator uses.
