Now, I'm not disputing the existence of these issues/illnesses, and some children are without a doubt victims of bad luck when it comes to the gene pool, but there is to my mind a huge amount of over-use of these conditons as excuses.

I have to agree with you Dan. I do think its an over used excuse. My brother is dyslexic, he doesn't use it as an excuse, and for the record has a degree
I think I've officially joined the old gang or something.
Coincidently(and a sweeping generalisation) rather a lot of new members are below the age of 20, and its these members that are usually the ones with terrible posts, so what the hell is going on.
As someone already said, if our foreign friends on here make a huge effort to post properly, why can't our younger members? English is taught all over the world as a mutual second language, are their schools going to have to start teaching text speak as well, because the English are getting so damn lazy with their own language?
waits for the burning flames of hell to descend upon me
