I have a DREAM... A day LL will ustand that its we: ”the small ones” that make it AL!

Hum, but the previous poster just seemed to refer to it as a "handicap" and "disability". Perhaps somebody should go around and put handles on the dyslexic's bathtub because she can't spell?

*sigh*

Pedantry in a forum environment is bad because it's so bloody ignorant. Handles on the bath tubs of all pedants please. I'll pay. And whilst they're scrubbing themselves clean, perhaps the dyslexics can come and post here without fear of intimidation.

My lac of speling is oly out matcheded, by mi lack uf typing!!!! 30 words per hours!!!

Because it is a handicap and a disability - legally, and in actuality.

Not all handicaps are the "wear a bike helmet and use a wheelchair" handicaps.

My sister's husband is dyslexic. He still works for a high technology firm that contracts out to the army, and has gone to Iraq twice now to train troops to use some of the computer equipment in vehicles. In his spare time he builds RC airplanes from scratch. Dyslexia is a disability, but it doesn't mean your stupid or unable to function. It's just something you learn to live with and work around.

I thank AL of you that have mailed me, IM-ed me. for you kind support. I needed that. Its lovely that there are so many of you - people I know or dont know that tell me to continue. dont give up... I am touched.

EXAKT - Iits spelled that way in Swedish and it are a Swedish Company- in Sweden called AktieBolag = AB

EXAKT Lovely of you AL - Tina

Thank you for explaining. I had assumed that "AL" was some sort of code, or ingame reference I didn't get. This is because I remember you communicating much more clearly a year ago.

I never correct peoples gramar - weird things happen with the brain. I have epilepsy and have had to take drugs that have severely effected my ability to form sentences, spell and even think clearly at times. Not to mention what happens to me after a seizure.

Normally, I speak Spanish, fluently. After a seizure, I was at work and I went into a meeting and everyone was speaking Spanish and it may as well have been marshian to me. It was horrible. I thought I'd lost my mind. My understanding of Spanish came back eventually, but the brain is a strange thing.

Don't sweat the small stuff PetGirl - we can read between the letters and the lines!

When that dosen't work you can always draw beautiful pictures.

.

Would you mind awfully capitalizing the word 'English'? Thanks very much.

Rose - I know- I have had three ones of your ones - when I got an Insulin attack (shock) and wake up in an Ambulance totaly knocked out - every muscle hurt.. tounge in pices. head gone.. shaking.. sure I will die next second.. and I dont want to change my dyslexi with your one..

Dam its hard to live.. to hard sometimes..

My warm/huge fellow-feeling with YOU! HUGS!!! We make it! I AM sure of it.. we will..

/Tina - Tomorrow its our Swedish Midsummer eve,, I have 3 days of now - and love it already!

I might be a bit late to the game but I still think it's a bit funny, when someone who uses words (?) like "kthxbye" criticizes the spelling of someone else (who did not have the privilege of learning English before going to school).

Am I the only one, who sees the joke?

Maybe I am interpreting too much into this incident but many people with problems like PetGirl are sensitive in this regard - because there is a large group of people who consider you kind of dumb, when you can not speak their language well. This misconception is probably much older than the proverbial English nobleman who considers "Negroes" stupid because "they don't even understand English".

I am not saying, that this is your attitude, Summer, just trying to explain why someone might take a post like yours very seriously.

eXactly

I know English is not your first language (and I commend you on your knowledge of more than one language) but please from this point on change your spelling of AL to all.

I dropped the kthxbye and captialized my E. Is this post okay now?

I was thinking exactly the same thing.



Ah, I'm relieved now. May the forum spelling patrol redEAm us from this insanity in the future.

Well, looking at your previous postings I have to say that your knowledge of punctuation seems pretty shaky, and I should particularly mention that an ellipsis is expressed by most literate people as ' ... ' (spaces required).

Hope this helps.

Are you available for further tutoring?
