I have never had a hint of Dyslexia in my life until I started getting into discussion forums! Just typing that first sentence it happened twice. I keep reversing letters. Anyone else do this (that normally doesn't have any issues)? Thank good ness for spell checker (I'm on a computer... can't imagine how you folks using phones manage with "auto-correct" BS)

Happens all the time. Autocorrect plus bad typing on my phone. 70%+ of my posts get edited. Add gateway errors lately and alcohol oopsies, I spend half of the time on my posts fixing stuff, or rewriting things.

Believe me, spelling N****zes can really get a hold of much of mine.
Thing is, late 90's/early 2000's, I was in a sim group doing role play for several chat rooms every night and the only thing I messed up then was "the - hte".
But then, there was no time to edit. Only took twice as long to type this out then it should have... ;)


Doesn't help that I am dyslexic...

Not only have I become dyslexic since being on the internet (not diagnosed, but I am 100% sure I have it), but half of my keys on my keyboard are so worn out I can't tell which key is which letter. lol
I finally had to add a spot of hot melt glue to the 'F' and 'J'. It takes a while to get used to those huge blobs, but the key board has stood up to three computers.

When i'm typing stuff in a paving forum i'll proof read a couple of times. A comma here an exclamation mark there. These crazy paving forums are full of super bad spelling some of which is hilarious at times.

Pave on !.
A paving forum. Now that sounds exciting. So many different ways to pave a driveway. You can go east to west, North to south, even diagonal if you have the room. One rocking forum I bet. LOL CHEERS!
