"Who I'm sexually attracted to isn't my choice it's just the way things are.I don't dislike anyone including blacks or Asians.Theres idiots in all races shapes and sizes so I'm not racist I'm idiotist if that's a word lol.Im never going to sleep with someone I'm not sexually attracted to and that's my right.We all have our type and they just don't fit that in a sexual sense.You felt free to judge my rights that doesn't bother me one bit but all I was saying is that if a persons spelling is that important then when you meet them make sure you comunicate through passing pieces of paper to each other. People are so quick to belittle others to expand there own egos x " Pot, kettle and black here | |||

"As a dyslexic person I fuck these type of things up all the time. Granted I've learnt to overcome mine in a lot of ways but mistakes still happen But you can still read it and understand what I actually meant by it, so most will overlook it in those circumstances I would never have thought you were dyslexic. I don't think I've ever read a spelling mistake in any of your posts. Most if us become experts in hiding it. Mainly because of the lack of understanding of it but also because of the humiliation people try to bestow on us for it. I'm 1 of the few lucky ones as my confidence in myself and my abilitys means nobody can belittle me over it.

"We had Latin as our base and from that came the Italian, French, Spanish and we no longer use Latin. Erm, no. No. Jusy no. We didn't. Ancient German was our base. But yes, Italian, French and Spanish came from Latin. We've incorporated various languages into English since then. Anyways, I actually don't give that much of a fuck as long as I can understand what has been typed. It's a forum, I just want to roll eyes at some of the nonsensical crap that gets spouted and laugh at the wit of others." A misunderstanding...the "we" was collective of the human race and chatting about language in general not English Per se - more about using that transference and evolution of a language to create something else as an example of language evolving....

"I completely concur!! It absolutely drives me crazy when someone does not make the effort to use correct spelling, punctuation and grammar. I understand and make exceptions for those who suffer with a genuine learning issue such as dyslexia, but for the majority it is purely laziness. I do believe that computers, spell check, texting and the like have a lot to answer for, as well as a general decline of education and 'standards'. I do have to admit, that my own spelling, punctuation and grammar which used to be excellent, have also been a casualty of this general decline. Unfortunately, over-reliance on spell checker and instant messaging apps etc even seem to make those who have some skills lose then far too quickly.

The question is can you read it
Because hell I can't read my own writing half the time.
It used to make me laugh at school..the teacher would say what does that say (pointing to a line I've written)... haha I used to just stand quiet... asked again...er I don't know was hoping you could tell me haha skool hey was no fun in the dark days of dyslexics with little help "Try 10 years further back mate. My home in school was the dunses corner. I was told daily in fact hourly how thick I was and I'd never even get a job at mcmingers. I had my knuckles wrapped with the edge of a ruler at least weekly but the did stop throwing the board rubber at my head. Mainly becouse if I clocked it coming I was fast enough to catch the fucker and throw it back sadly that's when I met the head and his can. Sounds funny I know but it was my childhood.... | |||

I realise that dyslexia is not a learning issue, but I had no idea how to correctly classify it to be honest. I certainly would not go as far as to say disability and I wasn't sure, so that felt like the safest option!
It's a disability
Yes but as with all disabilities it doesn't mean we can't function and succeed with it "But unlike most disabilities we are fair game to take the piss out of. Silly Billy you | |||

"Once again people are confusing dyslexia and poor English. Totally unrelated. Are we agreed English should be taught in schools? Good. That means there is a standard. The fact that aspiring to the standard is regarded as discriminatory is disturbing. Someone with dyslexia would probably find all written subjects challenging. That doesn't make them any less intelligent. It means they need support, that's all." This I agree with. | |||

"What I love about these kind of posts is that people forget the language has evolved. We didn't always talk and write as we do now, and I think it's conceited to think it's a perfect and correct language as it is right now, and everyone should conform to that thought and method. I also think it's conceited to believe anyone who doesn't conform lacks intelligence, as by that measure of ones intelligence, Shakespeare was a moron... Personally I go by one measure, which is do I understand what the communicator is trying to convey. If so, all is good." I know language changes but I just want to be able to understand someone. If they can spell and use punctuation then I am more likely to converse with them as I understand them. Simple really. | |||

As for reading my own writing your having a giraffe not a chance.."The old 'thick' word eh or 'you stupid boy'. I know the word thick very well. I was called it by teachers regularly, right up until I invented a product for the robotics/pneumatics industries at 13 year old. Got into national finals for a massive design awards and came 2nd in UK. The product went on to be produced and have millions of units sold world wide, while I was still at school ha Every teacher stopped calling me thick from then on
But then I'd proved to these 'wankers' I wasn't thick like I had been labeled.
The amount of times I felt like responding to teachers with 'are you thick sir' after explaining robotics to a minds that well used to call me 'thick'.
I'd like to think times have changed for kids with dyslexia now a days, compared to your childhood experiences and mine after you.
I know three other dyslexics, they all had a hard time with school.
One mate said spent entire school being called thick. He now heads up a design team with a global car giant.
Spelling and grammar etc has nothing to do with intelligence | |||

Me too!"English now. What is it? especially given the 'English' language has been so eroded over the years and will continue to do so...an example of this would be the white British man is becoming a minority in UK. Five cities we at now I'm sure...that English language is the least used and British man the minority... so the English both written and spoken is being eroded slowly in society anyway. Are schools at primary levels in Uk...the only person who actually speaks English is the teacher. Is a school in glasgow..that has a class of 25 kids, 9 different languages, no English apart from teacher...and Glasgow is a place of high british numbers compared....with say non British speaking Brits. Im sure the standard of spelling has declined in British schools, and the nature of English being taught differs a lot from the quality of previous years. I don't think there is a standard in Britain. A standard of clowns that go on about spelling and grammar, but then in the real world these people tend to be rather dull and boring in my experience, so I'd rather spell poorly and be with the fun creative real people | |||
