ok i feel i need a rant here, i have dyslexia i struggle to read and my spelling is quite bad as is some of my grammar and my punctuation is almost non-existent. as some of you may of noticed in some of my posts.
but here is the thing that gets me mad, is when folk start having a go at posters for the way they have spelt something or the way they use there grammar and punctuation.
well let me tell you something i have 8 O levels, 12 NVQ and 2 city and guilds qualifications. i ran a successful building and decorating business for 12 years only giving it up due to injury,
yes i know there is a thing called spell checker and there is things called dictionary. but how the hell do you look up how to spell something in a dictionary if you dont have a clue how its spelt. and spell checker isnt much better yes it gives me loads of suggestions on how something is spelt but i dont know which suggestion is the one i want because im dyslexic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i have been to adult learning classes and even back to collage to try and learn to spell but i just cant do it. you give me some tools and materials i can build you just about anything but give me something to read or Wright and i will struggle. and as far as im concerned i dont care we are all different and we all have different talents and failings. so instead of having a go at someone for the way they have written something is pathetic and maybe you should look at yourself because i bet your not perfect either.
i have 2 thoughts at this point
1) if you have read it and understood it well enough to know that a word is wrong then where is the problem you understood thats all that matters....
2) if you dont like the way i post then dont read my posts you twat ???????
