Dyslexia is just a visionary disorder where a person does not see words as they would normally.

For example, even if the word is STOP.

A person with dyslexia may read TPSO.

The letters would be jumbled and sometimes even upside down and backwards depending on if you have mild and severe dyslexia. A personal with dyslexia generally has very sloppy handwriting and they usually misspell even the simplest words.

I think Live Tyler has it if I remember right and she had Orlando Bloom dive her around New Zeland all the time because she couldn't read the trafic signs... might be mixing that up some how though.

She was joking about that bit. She was more afraid to drive on the left side of the road because she's so used to the right side in the US. She felt essentially "dyslexic" with driving, as in being "jumbled up".

Gosh, I wish you'd stop running around Kit, so stressing! :-)

Alright, I get it now... but I had no idea New Zealand drives in the left side of the road... How did I become so ignorant! You're opening a can of worms here Kit.. something new coming out everytime you post!!! :teehee:

I was actually going to (re-)introduce the topic of stress/expectations/ambitions/dreams from oneself and others, but I think I'll save it for later... being confused here is a full time occupation! :P

It also means i can't tell left from right, and alot of dyslexics are also dyspraxic whitch means we have great problems with numbers and counting and stuff. I'm a musician and it means i have huge problems sight reading two staves at the same time verticaly, though i can do it horizontaly. Another problem is with the way i think, instead of thinking step by step i see links between very diffrent things and then can't proberly and coherently explain the link.

Ooooo do they really. I expect thats becuase thier an ex-coloney and still regocnise our queen.
HURRAH FOR QUEEN ELISABETH

Whats the ideas/stress/dreams topic Ea?

I'm a bit late in joining....by about a year....but I'd like to join!

I have a friend who's dyslexic. Whenever we have tests she gets to take it in another room and have someone read it to her. She could also have someone take notes for her, but she chooses to do that on her own.

Ok, I realize that there are people that have learning disabilities, etc, which make it harder to spell right... but it's still kind of annoying. But what really drives me up a wall are the people who have the capability of spelling just fine, and they are either lazy (ie, they use text/im speech) or they just never try/tried to learn good spelling.

Grr. I was in UIL spelling in middle school/high school, and so when I see things misspelled for no reason, it pisses me off.

I agree. A mispelled word every now and then is nothing to get angry about: people make mistakes. But blatantly ignoring the rules of grammar and spelling because one is lazy is annoying.

Another exception to that rule would be people who are learning english as a second language. I can easily understand how people would become confused by english. There's so many odd rules, so many exceptions to those rules, so many wierd spellings...I'm impressed by and I admire anyone who has is fluent in english as a second language.

lol

I dont' get to annoyed at people who misspell words...partly because it doesnt help to get annoyed snd there is nothing I can do about it annyway. But yes, I will agree when someone ignores grammer rules and (for all intensive perposes) spells things wrong on perpose r because they are lazy, that is not a good thing.

However, I have tried like crazy to learn spelling.. and my spelling is still terrible! Always has been. I like to write and I do a lot of it but I just don't seem to remember how words are spelled...

So I understand when people get things spelled wrong that sometimes it just a matter of it being hard for them... and trust me, getting upset with those people won't help them learn.

hehe... I don't get how people can text the way they doo even with using that kind of spelling... O_o my sister can type as fast texting as she can writing with a pen and paper... that just aint normal!


A lot of my spelling mistakes, also, are because I just get typing so fast and don't pay enough attention to my spelling... (especially when i am typing a story adn I get into it mentaly and "zone out" )

Oh, I know. It's tricky learning another language, but many foreign languages (not English, anyway) have set rules that make it a bit easier to learn. But English must be a nightmare to learn for somebody who isn't exposed to it from birth.

(You know, I never knew how early a baby really starts to learn language. In my psychology class, our prof was talking about how if a baby isn't exposed to someone speaking the language of choice by a certain age, they'll grow up not speaking with a certain dialect/accent. Really interesting.)

(Also, the prof was talking about how easily young kids learn other languages. He said you could sit a toddler in front of TV playing Telemundo (or another foreign language channel) and they would start to pick up the language. And they get the word order right- in the Romance languages, anyway, the noun comes before the adjective- like agua fria in Spanish. In English, it is switched- cold water. Anyway, the kid might combine the words, but the first word will make the second word be in the right place. Like if they say "cold agua", it's cold water, and it's in the correct order for English. And vice versa, they could say "agua cold". Ok, I probably made no sense of what I'm trying to say, but whatever.)

^ Nah, you made sense. :)


It is pretty amazing how kids can pick that stuff up thoug. i have relatives that live over in China and they have a little girl who is learning Chinese AND English just because she is around both languages being spoke and she is only 2 I think.

My mom grew up in Taiwan and she learned both languages the same way. Some how they just know all the tenses and the structure of how it's said in the other languages when they are that age and it's never really an issue when they learn it by hearing people speaking it.

Rather fascinating. :nod:

My psych prof was also talking about a girl he'd had in class once, who grew up in a house where several languages were spoken. She ended up being fluent in like 7 languages.

Holy bejeezus.
