My daughter got diagnosed dyslexic a couple of weeks ago. When she got to her childminder later the same day, her childminder asked how the test went. "Great", said my daughter, "I'm .. I'm ... I can't remember the word, but it begins with an 'A'." "Dyslexic?", asked the childminder. "Yeah, that's it", replied my daughter.
It made us smile ....

Feh. NO. I am teh dysgraphic, which, although harder to show on the internet, shows in my handwriting.
Not tested but I have found errors where I reverse not only letters but numbers as well.

The same reason that the word meaning a fear of long words is a very long word, namely that people who compile dictionaries are all sadists, as its the only way they can do their jobs.
This thread is just a thinly veiled attack on spelling and grammar fanatics isnt it? Good, they get on my nerve too.

Aye, I have dyslexia. All it really means is that I'm a slower reader and sometimes misread words. It really doesn't make much of a difference when your exam paper is less than two sides of A4 in total (including the rubric). Oh yeah, and my handwriting is about twice the size of most.
The untie thing had me laughing a bit. Originally I read it right as 'untie', but then realised you meant 'unite'. However, it took me a fair amount of time to realise how the spellings of 'untie' and 'unite' differ. I actually had to physically go through the pronuncitation of 'u-n-i-t-e'.
Most original dyslexic joke I've seen ages, much more son that then DNA one *snore*.
Why do people thing dyslexic is hard to spell? It's relatively straight forward and sounds how it is spelt except for the 'y'.
Isn't.
P.S. You were asking for it.
Psst you missed nerve instead of nerves.

My personal favorite dyslexic joke.
What do you get when you cross an insomniac, an agnostic, and a dyslexic? Answer in white below.
A person who stays up all night wondering whether or not there is a dog.

Hey! I just needed one to make the joke. If I was attempting a full scale revision, I would've raised the banner.

Hey, me too.What is dysgraphia? I've never had someone tell me the difference between dysgraphia and dyspraxia. They sounded almost identical to me.
edit: to be fair I probably couldn't make a clear definition between any of the three.

A little known fact is that several historical people were dyslexic.
Take Einstein for example, I believe he was dyslexic.
Hmm... so maybe E doesn't equal MC squared?
