For images where the text reads correctly left to right, but visual cues (like colouration, vertical proximity, or horizontal separation) lead you to try to read it top to bottom.

This is similar to, but distinct from, the more widely known “DontDeadOpenInside” format. In that case, the text reads correctly top to bottom, but visual cues (like colouration, horizontal proximity, or vertical separation) lead you to try to read it left to right.

When reading, you start at the top left, then you go (top) right, and then go down one line and read again from the left to the right. If you carefully follow these rules, you'll see that this sign says "AI wrote this sign". There are no separation between the group of words on the left of their line, and the ones on the right, hence no real reason to think it says "AI this wrote sign". Now, go back to your drama podcast
