3blue1brown made lots of mistakes in the alphabet but I'm impressed by the fact that all mistakes are based on visual memory, confusing m and n, j and i. He is actually visualizing the alphabet. No wonder he is 3blue1brown.

@BboyKeny 2 жыл бұрын

That was also my line of thinking. The only way I would even start to practice doing that. It would be through visualizing the alphabet and then read it. Maybe grey out every third or fourth.

My way of doing it would be to assign each letter an associated number depending on its place in the alphabet and then practice being quick with converting back and forth between numbers and letters (and also practicing modular arithmetic).

12:30 if the police like to use spelling the alphabet backwards as a sobriety test, at a party you might test how many shots it takes for you to mess up spelling it backwards. Whoever lasts the longest wins. Though, I guess you are being “punished” by winning so maybe you might do something like whoever messes up saying the alphabet backwards first has to take a shot. It doesn’t all have to be about drinking but obvs. having drinking involved could make these alphabet games more interesting
