Not spell checked well for as long as i can remember i cant spell properly and it genuainly annoies me i just think it would be so much easyier if i could spell. from a young ages iv had help with my dylexia so its only long words that are spelt wrong and the way i word sentences become a bit lost. as the the other day i was talking to fellow assembler member Kiff and i was trying to explain something and he just couldnt understand what i was talking about as my spelling and wording were so bad and he says to me "you should go back to school and learn english again" not noing of my condition whitch im ust to people moaning and saying im useless becuse i cannot spell so i just kinda said sure what ever. i guess what im trying to say is how much easier or how differnet would my life be if i could spell and i just wanted to know what you guys opinons are and how u deal with it if you have it. yes i did rant a bit lol
I can't think of any positives of being dyslexic, people may automatically assume you're a fuckwit if you don't punctuate or use good grammar. Have a look at this thread, and you'll get the idea. If you don't have a problem with telling people you're dyslexic, mention it in your signature - it might make people be a little more understanding.
I have it. Of course it would be nice without it, but what can you do? I just use spell check a whole lot (^_^);
I personally think it can both be a blessing and a curse. My father has it, but it has not stopped him from doing anything he liked. He sailed the world on ships, from he was 14 til he was in his twenties, he later on learned to read and write Danish, and not only speak it, and when he learned to read, he read a lot of books, including many classics . He then later on in life, after he had gotten my sister and I and his back got ruined , trashed from work. He went to school, and got an A+ (13 in the old scale 12 in the new crappy EU sanctioned scale) on his Danish oral exam, and he got that twice. He reads English books, with help of a handheld scanner, and an English to Danish dictionary. And here I am not talking, children books, no as a matter of fact. I am talking about big subjects about swords, and what not. And the "funny" part is this, he does not speak English at all, but never tell what he is getting in present for either Christmas or his birthday, in English. So my advice to the people who has dyslexia. Never give up, and keep fighting, since you will find a way to get where you want to be. Also my father has dyscalculia which is even worse than just dyslexia alone. And if you have been called a dunce by the teacher,and you have difficulty with reading, then get checked. And then afterwards, if you get it on paper that you have dyslexia. Then you can tell the fucking wanker of a teacher (or a tart if the teacher is female), that dyslexia is recognized by the bloody UN, and the same goes to dyscalculia. My father is also the reason, why I have stopped correcting people with their spelling or pronunciation. even though it still irks me; when people are fucking up their own language. When they do NOT have a disability.
Mental disorders in general suck, dude. You just have to look at it as another obstacle in your life, and not like it's your fault or a some kind of mark against you. There's no reason to be ashamed about something that you can't control. That said, people will still hold it against you, so it probably isn't best to announce it everywhere you go. I'm just saying, internally, you shouldn't feel bad about it.
well said personaly im not assamed of who i am i was just pissed of when i wrote the thread as someone was being a dick about how i write things. i think without dylexia id probly be a differnt person as i think it probly made me focus more on different areas. thanks guys keep them coming in as i enjoy reading this thread. oddly i can read perfectly just cant write :shrug:
At least you understand, if the way to a certain point is blocked. Because of your dyslexia, then try to find another way to get the same goal and I hope the true tale about my father has encouraged you to be a bit more optimistic
I'm in the same boat as you are. I can't spell either and always using a spellchecker, for I also have mild Dyslexia. So I feel you pain. :/ =Hugh
