After reading about a technology that can determine whether a picture has been photoshopped, illustrated by actual photographs of fashion models, first with rolls of stomach fat then without, I turned to the NY Times Obituaries to read:
Lana Peters, Daughter of Stalin for Whom Obesity Was Escape, Dies at 85.
Wait, what?
The misread word in this case was Obscurity. Of course. She escaped by becoming an unknown. But can't people escape life by eating to the point of obesity? Maybe, but they are more likely to escape FROM obesity. And, anyway, Lana Peters appeared to be a fit woman throughout her obscure life.
I'd love to hear from readers about your own bouts with Mislexia. Just leave a comment and I'll be sure to include it on a future blog.
