Now i'm sorry to any dyslexic people out there, this is just my opinion
Basically, i'm on another forum where i have many friends and have been on there for a good few years
I absolutely HATE it when people make the most basic spelling mistakes
There's this one guy that has posted 3 threads today, and has got a word in the title wrong.....e.g.
"I've baught this laptop"
"What size breaks do i need?"
and
"Post up pics of you're Corsa"
He now blames it on dyslexia, but i'm sorry, these are basic English words that you learn from a very young age at school, and you use in everyday life
I'm not saying i'm a perfect speller, and i will occasionaly get my grammar wrong, but just consistantly mis-spelling very basic words seems a bit dodge to me
Don't mean to offend anyone, but i really do think that Dyslexia is just a made up syndrome sometimes
What are people's thoughts?
With respect, I think this is THE most stupid thing I've heard in a while, and whilst your post says 'not meaning any offence', some will be taken.
My brother is VERY badly dyslexic. It is a fully recognised condition as you should all well know, and he struggled very badly at school due to this, and was bullied quite badly for being 'stupid'.
Dyslexia should not be confused with stupidity. Spelling mistakes are not just due to dyslexia, they are due to simple laziness and ineptitude.
I think posts like this show a simple ignorance to the plight of people who are less fortunate than you. You should consider yourself extremely lucky.
Spelling mistakes irritate me as well, people should be able to speak english I agree, but posts such as this one aren't really going to help...
