Guys...dyslexia is not a choice, it is (by definition):
"...A disorder of constitutional origin, manifested by an inability to learn to read, write or spell despite adequate cognitive skills, socio-economic opportunity, and conventional instruction".
By "constitutional origin", what is meant is that it is part of a person's genetic makeup when they are born. A true dyslexic can no more learn to do the things for which you ridicule Jim than they could change the color of their eyes, which is yet another issue of "constitutional origin".
Many other things are related to "constitutional origin"...for example, I have been losing my hair since my early 20's, and at 63 I am almost totally bald on the top of my head. That genetic pathway leads to my mother's father, not my father (who was bald only on the crown of his head).
I mention this knowing I will receive my fair share of ridicule for my hair (or, as I frequently mention, absence thereof) only because it is something that I could no more change than can Jim change his linguistic disorder.
I specialized in dyslexia during my career, and can tell you that because most indivicuals with dyslexia are of average intelligence (actually, most are of higher than average intelligence, which seems to make the disorder that much more puzzling to the uninformed) they can be taught to compensate for the disorder, which apparently Jim is doing with current technology, but once a dyslexic, always a dyslexic (for life), so to speak :sad:
Bash on, if you will....if you must....I just wanted you to know Jim's posts are not fraught with spelling and linguistic mistakes because he is lazy. We all make the occasional typo mistake...such is not the problem for Jim, it is the alpha-numeric symbol code disruption in his "constitutional makeup", which is related to genetics and not at all to his level of effort.
Cheers!
