Found this website that converts whatever you type into upside down letters. I think it's intriguing...

This can probably used to provide answers for, say, AFS/CDTII quizzes, as I have always seen quizzes in magazines giving answers written upside down at the bottom of the page
Just a suggestion.

The thing is with upside down answers on paper, is that most people just turn the paper around to read the answer.
Turning your monitor upside down is considerably harder.
And saving the image and flipping it is too much effort to be done for every answer. Not worth it imo, and trying to read the answer upside down would be unnecessarily hard for people who don't speak English as their first language.

You don't need to be a native english speaker to read upside down. The only problem are some letters that have a simmetrical pair like n and u.

Many a monitor driver, or vid card driver allows you to set the orientation. So you really don't have to physically turn it upside down. And I have never had a problem reading upside down text. Even handwritten stuff. (And I've posted upside down on these forums before - I ran across that site about a year or so ago.)

If that is required, then the 'spoiler' system is much easier to use and read.

I wanted to say "can" not "can't"
