It is ironic that in a post about a "scolding" woman, you then answer her with a scolding. I am an English teacher with a graduate degree in writing. A professor once said that criticizing other people's writing or speech problems was inexcusable arrogance. As you see from a later post, the OP is dyslexic. It is difficult enough to function in a writing environment like this forum as a dyslexic without the added insults of forum members who are supposed to show support.

It runs in my family as well, don't sweat it you are doing great. (my dad is dyslexic and so are other members of my family) Also For much of my family English is a second language now their letters are a little hard to figure out (combine dyslexia with English as a second language) but I still love it everytime they take the time to write. In a way it means more to me, knowing that it's hard and even somewhat embarrasing shows they care even more. It's funny but my Mother in Law has a very hard time with English but she has the most beautiful writing style that I have ever seen. I, on the other hand am great on a computer but almost no one can read anything I write by hand. I hate the very thought of having to write anything by hand. I never did learn cursive, I can print but that is still very hard to read.

As for your mom in law, you might just consider not doing it around her and asking your hubby to not bring it up. Out of sight out of mind!! If she brings it up do your best to ignore it and realize that it comes from her problems not yours. You are making your life better and that is the most important thing to remember.

Good luck.
