To lighten things up a bit
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj6QqCH7g0Q
As another dyslexic I'd just like to say that I always spell check posts before submitting them simply so they are vaguely understandable and sometimes it takes quite a while to find the appropriate spelling, spell checkers are often stumped by my words and I have to use thesaurus and the like to get it right. I have no problems with typos, spelling mistakes and the like, the meaning is almost always clear. It's as the first post says the bad or just plane absent punctuation and capital letters that gets me.
I often use a function of my computer that will read text out to me, which makes these kind of communications open to me, and the computer is really throne by bad or missing punctuation and abbreviations.
Actually because I play online games allot I don't mind text speek, or l33t speek as it is referred to by gamers, to much. But I understand how it can be incomprehensible to a lot of people.
I think the initial intent of this thread wasn't to force everyone to speak the queens English. Just a mild plea for people to at least read there posts through before posting to make shore they are comprehensible.
Don't get too hung up on the details just be a bit thoughtful
.
P.S. I have put the first draft of this post in below to give you an idea of what my posts would look like without the wonders of the spellchecker.
P.P.s It took around 25 minute to get it readable.
