If you can read this, your brain is 50% faster than those who can't

I always laugh at those who try to correct spelling then end sentence with :bhead.

I'm waiting on our local grammar nazi's to pop in and have a heart attack. :)

Correction: You have a strange mind if you cannot read that. 55 out of 100 is the majority. :P

I can read it, but it looks like the names of some of the applicants I've seen at my company....
:bolt:
-
I read it but upside down and backwards :P

Was able to read it at normal reading speed, which surprised me.

Not the first time ive seem that kind of thing, fun to read though. :aok

I have heard the argument that written language is more pictographic then phonics. I tend to agree.

Strangely I didnt see a single letter out of place......
When ever I read something it looks exactly like that!
:salute

We have severe dyslexia in my family,while mine isnt quite so bad or I have adapted to it I have a cousin who used to write just like the letter Fuzeman posted.
In school he had to have his lessons done on a dataset,fortunately his parents had the ability to cope with it...$$$$$ and these days he's a teacher in France! As it turned out he has an exceptional IQ. Thats not surprising though as many dyslexics score well above average.
I have my biggest problem with words like them, there, they, the,it and several others,to me they all look the same and if one of those words are in the sentance above or below the line I'm reading I throw it in for good measure,whether it belongs or not...... :O It is all but impossible for me to read aloud.....

The amount of dyslexic people in US is so high that IMO people are using it as an excuse for simply failing to learn grammer. Just a thought :aok

Dyslexia is not an excuse not to learn grammar. My son was just recently discovered to be dyslexic, he's only seven and it distressed him that he couldn't keep up with the other kids in terms of reading. Now we know about we can work on it. I've been working with him using a book for dyslexics and it's clear where his difficulties lie. Otherwise he's very talented intelligent, well above average.
Being dyslexic is not an excuse for anyone. It's a genuine problem. I thought we'd left that kind of attitude behind long ago.

Dyslexia is not a disease, just a learning disability. The word dyslexia comes from Greek and means "poor language".

While it was long ago and many things have changed for me the best thing that happened was a teacher gave me a reading card! He actually made it and all it was was a card with a slot cut into it so I could only see the sentence I was reading,no words above or below were seen and I could almost read aloud as well as the other students. I still had difficulties with articles and pronouns but at-least most could finally understand what I was reading.
Doing long division also caused problems,I got the correct answers but when I showed my work it never made sense!
Some of the worlds greatest thinkers are thought to be dyslexic, I first learned about it from of all people Tom Smothers,Dr Joyce Brothers noticed he used both hands and said that was a classic sign of dyslexia,Tommy said well I've always been abit different! This was in the early 70's and it was all but unheard of! Myself I cant tell left from right without conscientiously thinking about it,I have to envission which hand I throw with because I know that's my left,by the way I'm right handed,well I write with my right hand,shoot a rifle left,a hand gun right,etc. Oh and I kick with my left....... :headscratch:
:salute
PS: I have never used it as an excuse! If anything I was ashamed of it as a youngster!

What I meant that if you compare the statistical amount of diagnosed dyslexia to the statistical amount of 'dyslexic' forum posters there is a huge discrepancy. Only a couple of posters on this forum should be dyslexic, statistically.

I have severe Dyslexia when ever I stub my little toe. :uhoh

Morfiend, interestingly my son is left handed and left footed too. There seems to be a relationship there with dyslexia. But luckily the world has moved on and there is quite a lot of help out there now days. The book I have operates somewhat similarly to your far sighted teacher all those years ago.
The only downside for him is that we have him enrolled in and excellent school where they are educated through the Irish language. We may have to move him because of the complexities of learning through a second language when you're dyslexic.

I found out a small tid bit on dyslexia when i took my daughter to a specialist.... and what you say there is where the issue is... word association.... it is the small, seemingly inconsequential words thatb most have trouble with and it is all to do with picturing that word... My Daughter had tasks to do with clay where she was to take a word she had trouble with and make something with the clay to associate it with...Now Mikayla was/is mildly dyslexic (so it could be easier for her) however the noticeable change was immediate. It has helped her keep concentration which in turn has increased her learning as she doesn't get as stuck and frustrated anywhere near as much (12mths)whilst reading.. it all happens without us even noticing but we read in pictures...with out a picture in our mind we can't/don't register correctly... I found it a very interesting and invalubale meeting as it has helped me with people I have employed and other family members....
