He thought he was Santa.

I love dyslexic jokes

The dyslexic agnostic who lay awake at night wondering if there was a dog
DNA, the national dyslexia association
 
One of my cousins was diagnosed with dyslexia at an early age although even he now realises that he may not be dyslexic at all, or has a mild form of it and that the initial diagnosis was at fault.

However, it did mean that he was almost given an 'opt of out trying' card for lessons at school and as a result his education suffered from that point on with virtually every text based subject suffering.

For pete's sake people.

Life is too short to get annoyed about spelling and grammar on forums.

WHY?

I am thinking that I might just spell everything wrong, cock up my grammar and type backwards just to get all your backs up.

Why does it matter so much on here, I never understand it. Do you understand the general gist of what people are saying?

Yes, well then why does it matter?

I write reports all day in coding and that's where one comma could give me a bug all day long but here is somewhere for me to relax and where I know that one comma or apostrophe (yes I know that's wrong but I'm half French so it's right in French) is missing is not going to cause a cataclysmic event.

Now, everyone breathe for a moment, the world is not going to end because someone's spelling or grammar is wrong on a forum.

:bang::bang::bang:

There are a hell of a lot more things to life than perfection and no one is bloody perfect.

Don't forget that all the time you are correcting someone, do you actually know if they have dyslexia or if they actually don't care and you may be actually offending them by constantly correcting them? No....

Off my soapbox now.

Good, I am an idiot then as I called it a lens in one of my earlier posts in 2007.

Nice to know. I can sleep peacefully now knowing that it is lens and that I am an idiot.

I can't see what this thread has to do with dyslexics. The issue is non-dyslexics spelling lens incorrectly. No need to get your nickres in a wist.

Totally agree with this comment 2blue4u.

Dyslexia is one thing, using it as an excuse is another, and putting an 'e' on the end of a word where it's not needed is just, well, strange!
 
Drives me mad too... so trivial in the grand scheme of things, yet so infuriating...
 
:gag: I don't care and you're not sorry otherwise you wouldn't do it

but seriously, this thread is quite light hearted. I understand anyone being sensitive to the subject of spelling if you're dyslexic, but I think it's unfair in this situation because we're not making fun of people with who have problems with general spelling, just the word lens. It's also unfair to associate everyone who has used the term 'lens' as being dyslexic..

or an idiot ;)

and it's not making fun of anyone, it's just the constant griping about spelling ;)
 
My Brother in law is dyslexic, luckily, he doesnt own a camera or lenses.
He did go out to buy one once but ended up joining a real ale drinking society.
He says its more fun anyways. :beer:

Sometimes a missing comma can completely alter the meaning of a sentence. Take "What's up, Agatha?" which is an enquiry of Agatha as to what the problem is. Now remove the comma to leave "What's up Agatha?" which is a rather different question!

Everyone makes typos - I make loads (I blame it on fingers that overlap keys so tend to add extra letters) but try to correct them as I go along.

Spellchecking is OK up to a point but doesn't usually pick up their/they're/there, which/witch and the like.

It's quite noticeable that the posts in this thread from dyslexics are spelled correctly - if they can get things right, shouldn't non-dyslexics be able to?

Of course I'm not really sorry - did you notice those exclamation marks? And the fact that you posted means you do care.

Well in this thread, I've no idea who's dyslexic, who's lazy, who's thick or who's deliberately making typos....:lol:

Its all the same damn thing, as long as the R U OK M8 plant pots don't get any more of a foothold than they already have, I don't give a b****r..:D
 
it is lens!!!

used to work in an optics lab where everything was labelled "leneses"
however the chap with the pen was from china..he had an excuse.
most people this forum don't have that excuse
 
SimonTALM said:
Here's another annoyed dyslexic who's fed up of people using dyslexia as an excuse. I've worked very hard in the past to get to grips with my dyslexia and still do every day. People with dyslexia can spell correctly it's just more difficult than it is for others and requires effort (perhaps more for some than others).

When I see the American phrase "I could care less" written by an English person, I will know there is no hope left.

Rant over (for now!).

:agree: That one drives me nuts! At least 'my bad' is deliberately incorrect, but when people say 'I could care less' it makes you wonder if they have ever actually considered how little sense it makes. It is so.....American......

p.s the chrome spell checker has ensured you get at least one well presented post from me (when everyone is watching) :thumbs:

Spelling isn't really the issue, it's bad grammar that's the issue...
We all make typos (especially if you're a two-fingered typing-biff like me)...What really boils my a*se is txt-spk or lack of punctuation...there's a reason for properly-structured grammar in writing - it gives the reader a series of mental pauses and helps prevent the originator's meaning being mis-interpreted.

It's just idleness really...

Tough titty...?...:lol:

I don't know much about dyslexia, but I do think that dodgy spelling and grammar don't define dyslexia, I don't think its as simple as that.
I say this because I have a sneaky suspicion that my partner is effected by it in some form or another.
Her written grammar and spelling is perfect, but in speech....she gets things backwards for absolutely no reason, she was asking about bookface only last night and talking about skijets, ordering sausage egg chips and beans in Morrisons cafe is a nightmare, I mean it just trips off the tongue, its printed on the menu as such but...I dunno...:shrug:, she'll start with chips and end up with mushrooms...eh ??
What's all that about, and she's not even vaguely blonde..

If it isn't dyslexia, I dunno what...:)
 
See, spell checkers are crap anyway, didn't pull effected because its a correctly spelt word, its the wrong word mind but what can ya do, except get your dyslexic partner to spell it for you....:lol:
