==Mirror writing== [[File:Fire-mirror-image.jpg|thumb|The word "FIRE" and its mirror image are displayed on the front of this [[fire engine]]]] {{Main|Mirror writing}} In [[mirror writing]] a text is deliberately displayed as its mirror image, in order to be read through a mirror. For example, emergency vehicles such as [[ambulance]]s or fire engines often display a label (e.g. "AMBULANCE") on their front end with the text reversed, so that drivers of vehicles in front of them can read the words right way round in the [[rear-view mirror]]. Some [[movie theater]]s also use mirror writing in a [[Rear Window Captioning System]] used to assist individuals with [[hearing impairment]]s in watching films.
