Upside down E--another argument

Another argument for my stance on upside-down E:

1) Walk into an ophthamologist's office.

2) Find the large eye-chart in which the top line looks like this:

                                      E

--only much bigger.

3) Stand on your head (you are now upside-down, right?).  You now see
a large existential quantifier, not a large E.  If you don't see
either one, put your glasses back on.
