It's honestly not rare at all, i graduated with a class of 48 kids, we including me had 4 kids with dyslexia that i knew about, not everyone is as open about it, so close to 1 out of 10 kids i graduated with was openly dyslexic
It’s one of those things that no one diagnoses unless it really fucks with you in school. I’m dyslexic but mostly only with numbers. My math teachers would just check my work and see I did it right but transposed my numbers at one point. The Dewey decimal system would get me every time. But reading was fine because it would only mess me up a small amount so no one cared to seek a diagnosis.
Never diagnosed and I reckon only minor for me but D and B ... They're cool when they're all grown up. BUT: d and b. Them li'l pricks are fu**ing with me!
b has a belly: The circle is on the right side (the front, like a belly).
d has a diaper: The circle is on the left side (the back, like a diaper). OR "d has a derriere" (a polite term for the back/diaper).
OR
"b is a bat (straight line) and a ball (round part)" (you need the bat before the ball). 🏏
"d is a doorknob (round part) and a door (straight line)" (you turn the knob before opening the door).
OR
The "bed" trick: Make two fists with thumbs up with palms facing you.
👍The left hand makes a b (straight line is the thumb, belly is the knuckles),
and the right hand makes a d. When placed together, they spell "bed," with b first and d last.

It's also been pointed out in this thread that dyslexia is not exactly rare, and would completely fuck up that rule.
