If they ever find a cure for Dyslexia

[Duncanpup]

It will be music to my two arses.

This was told to me by a fellow human who also is Dyslexic as I was punching out from wrok

[Kablooie]

1. Why did they name it something that dyslexics can't spell?

[Duncanpup]

2. Beats the fcuk out of me as in why.

[2naSalit]

3. How do you know we can't spell it?

I knew how to spell it long before I knew I had it!

[ret5hd]

4. Because there aren't many words spelled...

with only one letter?

5. You can call the dyslexia hotline. 119

Not to be insensitive. I sometimes get things bass-ackwards, myself. About 20 times a day.

[Wonder Why]

6. If your friend is dyslexic, then your friend has the right to make fun of his/her disease

but other dyslexics might not be so appreciative of hearing it from you especially since you heard it in a private conversation but you posted it in a public forum.

Just something to think about.

[Duncanpup]

7. I also am dyslexic

[Wonder Why]

10. But your friend knows you and probably knows it won't make you feel hurt

but posting it online means those with dyslexia that would feel hurt might be reading it.

All I suggested is that you should think first about jokes about those with any kind of disability, even f I improperly called it a disease.I myself apologize to you for not calling it by its correct category.

8. It is not a disease. It is a different way of perceiving the world: visually.

1/3 of MIT and half of NASA aerospace engineers are dyslexic.

[Wonder Why]

9. It is considered a "disorder" and a "learning disability" by the NIH.

I should have defined it more correctly.

[applegrove]

11. Well that is changing. It is more about seeing the world right brained

your whole life.
