    So whoever designed this started left to right, decided up to down was better part way through, then switched back to left to right… All without ever proofreading their work apparently

      How is it wrong? You intuitively read it correctly and are tripped up by the unusual letter placement. Pretty good design.

          I read it correctly and then did a double take. Seems like I Was the only one to Do that though.

            it’s probably some high-level parsing,… I don’t have english as first language but perhaps in french I’d be prone to scan text like that, disregarding typos

        Except it was harder to read than if it stayed consistent the whole way through, and that lack of consistency serves to make this look more of a cheap, crappy knickknack than it already looks like

        If you read it left to right, it says:

        'Cause if I was a then man I’d be the man

      That middle part is even worse than all the other hilarious rubble that’s being posted here.

      If you followed the order left to right and read it line by line it’d read: “Cause if I was a then man I’d be the man.” The first “man” is not directly following the “a”.

      You forgot the “then”. Should be “If I was a man, then I’d be the man”

    Yeah. This is a great one. It doesn’t scan no matter how you start.

    Even left to right isn’t legible: Cause if i was a then man id be the man.

    They want you to go “a man” and then back to left to right.

      No problems with this whatsoever. Totally a logical reading order.
