Since when did bobber and dis sound right phonetically ?

[gwh200]

It has nothing to do with phonetics and everything to do with laziness.
And before ANYONE pipes up


A. You can't be a bit dyslexic..you are, or you're not.

B. I'm right.

B. I'm right.

You know my knowledge on this subject. You know my opinion. You also don't have first hand knowledge.

So you're wrong on both counts.

I can't argue with B but I'll take issue with A ...

Dyslexia takes many forms and while severe cases are obvious it can sometimes be damned difficult to diagnose. My wife had several tests over the years and they finally confirmed that she was dyslexic last year - despite the fact that I was pretty certain of it 33 years ago !

Nope...I is Wight n use all wronged.

I mentioned I'm right...and nothing you can all say will convince me otherwise.

Therefore, in a thread crossover, I've gone all goodcat.

My mother in law tries to blame her whole spackiness on being profoundly dyslexic. This riles me considerably,as the real reason she's so stupid,is just that. She's really, really stupid.
Conversely professor ray Whitby, a mate who lives round the road, and who probably has seven brains, is HUGELY dyslexic, and dyspraxic...go figure.

Makes me go all Goodcat

Thats frigging funny!!!!

Good restraint, and I kinda agree, the trouble with forums is you can't tell who actually has a problem and who is being lazy.

Text speak isn't Dyslexia, and I personally don't have an issue with anyone talking the pee or getting grumpy over that, give 'em hell.

But if anyone causes a proper row over Dyslexic typing they'd be better be 100% right that the person is just being lazy, not has an honest problem.
We've lost lots of normal members, because "they've had to live with this shit all their working lifes, and can't face it on something that is supposed to be a fun hobby" which is a sad reflection on our 'club'

Having said that, Mav proves you can over come it with care, or George proves you can over come it by facing the problem like an adult and not getting upset. So there isn't really a reason that it needs to end in tears or arguments.

People with Dyslexic tendences also need to realise this a word based medium, so you HAVE to be able to make yourself understood with words. Its the ability to express yourself properly without a face to look at, that lets people know if your are angry or happy, annoyed or relaxed, being cheeky or rude etc... and make the most of the forum.

Reread what you type before posting, slowly, not what you think you've typed, the actual words on the screen, does it make any sense!! If you run out of breath then it needs punctuation at least!! This what I have to do every post I type, and still end up having to edit it afterwards most times.
