Debs!!!!!!
MUAH!!!!!!!!
I have nephews and nieces who are dyxlexic - they are now at Uni (where they recognise their talent and not just look at the spellings).
People with dyslexia can be misunderstood greatly - even now.
We should all take time not to pick fault with people's ability to spell but rather look deeper into the meaning of the posts.
Big hugs to you Debs!!!!!!

Debs,
Someone I used to work with was dyslexic. He had a degree and had been a teacher.
You have proved that the people who doubted you were wrong. I wish I had your gift for artistry and your sense of humour. You are so open and honest and I always enjoy reading your posts.
All the best to you, Debs.
Hi Debbiewebs, I admire you a lot for your participation in this forum. and it's a good idea for a future munch. I studied at university as a mature student in the 1990s and there were several students in my group who were dyslexic, and they received a lot of help and extra time in exams. Happily things are improving for people with dyslexia.
Drifter, your avatar looks extraordinarily like Ian Hislop - are you sure you're not him? I admire you for managing to afford to spend time in here as well as appearing on TV and editing Private Eye!

Yes I am Dyslexic and I am not ashamed or embarrased to say that.
Ok i cant communicate on paper , poperly , by orthodox standards, but Dyslexia is a gift, it allows you to think latteraly to not be constrained by rules.
I have a degree and own businees so it has never held me back.
Of course life would have been easier had the condition been discovered earlier.
Whilst not wishing to decry anones efforts to support a registered dyslexia charity, i do question a society the makes dyslexics rely on charity. It is a disability just like any physical disability.
BTW an agaram of dyslexia is daily sex!!!
I was told I had dyslexia at school but I think for me it was a very minor thing and probably had something to do with the fact that I write left handed and do everything else right handed.
At least it meant I was able have fun at the same time as doing my homework!
My best friends brother has severe dyslexia - he owns hiw own business designing websites!
i'm not dyslexic, in fact english was my best subject at school, but i have trouble finding my way round a website, never mind actually building one!!!
and 2 years later...just been reminded by someone...on MSN or get your mates to post in your best reading colour (often blue) and it helps a lot to keep up in a similar way to the coloured overlays
and look at that I even searched for it first!
I'm sure I'm not the only one to think this.............................
But I sure miss Debbiewebs!!!!!! :cry: :cry: :cry:
