As far as I know, "dyslexia" causes people to place letters in the wrong order...Not spell them entirely wrong.


Edit:

And if I was 'dyslexic' then I would make damn sure to check my spelling. I wouldn't want to look stupid.
Shows what you know... Dyslexia is on a spectrum scale... in extreme cases students can't visual letters/numerals they move and jump on the page... some in the mid range transpose letters backwards... others have difficulty in asigning the sound to the symbol a bit like me... this problem is exaserbated when learning English (not American English) things like color are written colour.. its a nightmare!

its also made even worse by the fact I havea rather extensive personal vocabulary but no idea which sounds/symbols go where!

I don't or shouldn't need to check it... on other forums in fact all other forums i've frequented have pointed it out once in a "Shirley (thats an intended mistake!) you mean..." and when I point out I'm slightly dyslexic they let it drop... in fact posters I've known a long time even jump in to enlighten newbies when they have a go at my deficiant spelling!

No, what's sad is someone frequenting a forum where other users point out their stupidity on a daily basis.
Perhaps! Hadn't you better be leaving DI?
