A collection of some typecrimes involving flipped letters. Not all uppercase letters are "criminal", the lower case is "right way up". The N is one of my pet peeves, because I've seen several buildings with upsidedown N's on them. The D, E and Z are almost too subtle to be noticed, but in some fonts it's more obvious than in others. The A, V and K have opposite stress. The Eng I included, because it has been typeset as an upside down capital G, when the typesetters didn't have the letter in their fonts.

Hehehe, nice idea! You could push this even further and make all typographers go up the wall... ;-) I'm thinking of kerning and wrong terminals and so on.
