rofl... discrimination against the spelling impared? i'd like to see you make a case outta that one dan


As i have sated befor on this site my spelling ablity is not me being lazzy or stuiped it is due to a gentick condtion that effects areas such a visual memory, difficulties with accurate and / or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. This disablity is called Dyslexia, it in no way effects integencle but only the i/o of the brain you could say. It is also not that uncomen with rates as high as 15-20% but most are realtively low cases and are never dected. In my case it is as suvier as it gets but dyslexia is not all bad, it also has good effects witch cases above avagra ablitys in other areas witch is just recentaly being stuided.

And for thos who keep asking can't you just memorize how to spell? No i can not, i have spent may hours in the past learning ways to get to where i am but in alot of cases with spelling it just is not posable due to how my brain is psyicalky made up. This also has effects on simple math ablitys like adding and subtracing, mupltiling and such but not hire level conspects.

There is no cure for dyslexia since it is not a deases and even if there where i whould not whont it. It is part of who i am and has it's good parts.

If you whont to learn more about it you can google and find out tones of inmortiomn. Unfrontly some of it i have seen out there is not 100% corenct and only a few resrachs are starting to realizes the benfites of it and learning to use it to teach childern idenfied with it better.

Now how this tiles in to spelling, marking and school. If a person has been digantoesed with a level of Dyslexia high enought by a education pyscatircks you can get acocmadations to your education prgomages in any level of shcooling (uni, highschool, ect). Since this is an offical disbility and franky there is no way in hell i will ever be able to spell 100% in almost any case marking for/on spelling is not alowed and in some case other acomdations are put in like adiation time on exams, use of a spell checker on writen exams and use of a word process and in some rare cases cheat sheets. This is all writen up in nice offical and confidental document (since it is your right not to tell peoleop you have a disbality) and a letter is sent out to all profs/teachers infromting them of the acomdations they _have to_ provied. If they choice not to it is relooked at by the dean of the progme and they decies if it is aproivet to the disblity and then will most likey tell the prof to deal with it since if they do not provied acocmdations for dsiablitys they can get sued. In high school teachers do not realy get the chance to applie it. Also in uni case if the dean appiles it gose to a borad at the admin level of the uni where lawyers start geting invaled.

Dyslexia also causes fun stuff like:
- bad spelling
- bad moter skills leading to horable writing
- longer time to process infromation like basilky math operations
- trouble reading and taking longer to read
- trouble memorzing numbers, words, equations, ect
- and many effects steming from thos incuding pysogical ones steming for the lack of understading in our socity.

Edit: To cool dude; i am not made our raging with anager i am just trying to get peoleop to understand and gets a litte boring hering it 100% of the time. I can laugh at my self as you see with the full sport of the DoD porgect and things. I just do not whont peoleop to think it effects my integence level.

Also to awnser some questions peolop have asked in the past:

Q. arn't you screwed job wise? Poleop not hring you/not being able to write reports?

A. No, i am protected under the same laws that i am in uni and you can not fire or not hire some on based on being Dyslexia just like any other disblity.

Q. how do you get your code to complie?

A. That is what the debuger is for Wink. Also lucky progaming langues ushely use short forms and small words witch are easy to spell and have nice API docs witch can be looked up if it dose not complie in a few secs.

Q. Can't you just learn/meroize how to do X

A. No/not ushely/not easyly, see above.

Ya forgot to add reversing of words, letters, numbers in any aganle or relftion at random....

Edit: I hate lower case b and d. Also I, l and 1. and p and q sigh....

srry Hacker Dan i actually had no idea. i though u were just lazy like me with not spelling out you and just writing u. plus your benefits r great never being marked on spelling. in my opinion u might lack in spelling but u excel in computers a lot and i always though u were quite intelligent. again srry for the jokes about your spelling didn't know.

Seriously, I was having trouble with these till at least grade 2, which caused a small amount of trouble because I have a d in my name. Don't know why.

Man u guys got comp eng at ur school? Surprised That's awesome...it sounds like fun.Guess the closest ill have to that is TEch. Design. lol. I took comp sci, and i like it, but i think comp eng would be interesting. I've always wondered how the circuitry in a computer actually worked ( how all those "on's" and "off's" can do so much useful stuff).

Unforntly from what i have seen in comp eng in highschool you will not have much more of an idea affter taking it. For the most part it was the basicks of puting a comp together, hdd goses here, ect and the basick conspects about logic gates and simple cricuts. There is also some asm, picbasick pro and truing progaming to control hardware.

My school is so pathetic we did not do most of that. All we did was CCNA Networking and very simple logic circuits. We didn't even learn to build a computer or anything.
