You'll have to do better then that, I'm also very dyslexic. I wrote backward until I was eight. Still can read backwards. First started reading at 4 upside down. It was the only way I could figure out the words.
:D

I used to get paid to write backwards.
I was involved with tracking aircraft movements on large, clear plexi-glass boards. The people behind the boards had to write and draw backwards so that the people in front of the boards could read everything correctly. This was done in low light conditions, 24 hours a day, at radar sites and air traffic control centers.

You clearly have turned your disablity into your advantage. I'm guessing you started off need to have everything turned the opposite way too.

Just saw you are from S.C.,where? I spent a lot of my childhood in Ruby, located within Chesterfield County. I'm related to just about half of the County.

We live in the upstate, near Greenville; but spend a lot of time every month with family near Charleston.

I couldn't agree more!! I just "grin and bear it" as my mother used to say.
But, that's just my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions...lol

i am sorry if that last post sounded cranky, i am in a calmer more peacefull place now. I do agree that typos, misspellings, poor punctiation, and grammer can be very irritating. It is the little stuff that drives us crazy, not the big state of the world stuff. The point I was trying to make is DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF. If it isn't life and death it is small stuff. Life is to short to waste it worrying about things you can not change. Do I wish that my spelling, grammer , typing and puncuation was better. Yes I do. Even making a conciouencious effort on this post, I am sure an english teacher could tear it to shreads. I also wish I could dance like patrick swayzee, cook like emril, and sack quaterbacks like Dick Butkis. But it isn't going to happen.

Those who both speak and write English on this site are fighting a losing battle about punctuation, sentence structure and spelling. The people who don't use any of this also don't use a single brain cell before pressing their shutter button. They simply post a load of crappy pictures and announce, "critique me".
When confronted by their obvious lack of education they attack with "too much caffeine" or "you need to chill out". The best way to deal with this lower form of life is to ignore them. Ignore their postings, ignore their comments.
I do indeed wish this forum had the "ignore" feature most forums contain. That way they can "text speak" each other to death.

so, because some people choose to do things differently from you means they are a lower life form?
quite a conceited point of view.
sorry for not realizing the world revolved around you and that anybody that didn't agree with you was lacking of education.

just throwing it out there, but i think its funny how people cry about how the English language is degrading. what with different typing styles, slang, etc.
well, have any of you stopped to think about what has been happening all your life? how about since the birth of america? over time languages evolve. if they didn't, we'd all be speaking like in Shakespeare's plays still. when you guys were young, i'm sure you used slang words too. now its suddenly wrong because other kids are doing it? i'm sure a hundred years ago, people were thinking the same thing as clothing and language styles changed and evolved into what we have today. now you think it suddenly has to stop evolving because you don't want to change with it?
as times change, things change. you have to accept that things wont stop changing just because you don't like them.
there comes a time when you have to accept change or get left behind and looked at as an old fashioned person who thinks their point of view is the only correct one.
