Might be good for an autocue?

It's a ghastly fashion. It's slow to read and ugly, hence the autocue idea as you have to study each word and not make assumptions about what you think is there.

Like bad printed T-shirts or slashed jeans.

Edit (Bionical or Open Dyslexic):
Also when people in the West become proficient at reading, they read very like Chinese people read (which usually isn't even phonetic). You do not identify and spell out each letter, but recognise the word. Hence proof reading an alphabetic language is an acquired skill that takes practice.
