Variety is the spice of life... Be pretty dull if we all spoke the same.

Like the pronunciation of words as well. One of my pet peeves is the way people pronounce the word for pavement. ASH Fault (when it is spelled asphalt, and pronounced ass fault.) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

George Orwell was a Prophet, not a novelist. Read 1984 and then look around you!

Shootist, don't start me!!
Or a favourite (ahem!) over here is simply mass misuse of a word, such as 'infer' in place of 'imply' etc etc

If you would like to gain a better understanding of dyslexia , you might want to hit the library.The book you want is "The Gift of Dyslexia" by Ronald W. Davis.
It's the best discussion of the topic I have ever come accross......and I have both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Speech Pathology and Audiology and another Master's in Educational Administration. I only mention my credentials to illustrate just how good I think this book is.
It's the only one I've ever come accross that accurately describes my grandfather's and my own experience with the condition.

"Ode to the Spelling Checker!"
Eye halve a spelling check or.
It came with my pea sea.
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write.
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it.
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh.
My check or tolled me sew.
