Good for her!! But I think people forget Dyslexics tend to be creative, have great imaginations and tend to have high iq's too. The actress Susan Hampshire (for us older people who remember her) is dyslexic and learns her lines by listening to them. Einstein was also Dyslexic.

Dyslexia! Where I come from its just called laziness.

Yep I have to agree - I am a very bad speeler

I live my life next to a spell checker so its not too bad - but because of that I can get away with being very lazy.
