While I have sympathy for your disability, I have no sympathy for laziness.
for dyslexic people, its hard to do. So whilst ultimately it might be lazy, its virtually impossible to keep up with what is sometimes a fast moving forum, whilst concentrating on making sure each word is spelled correctly, even with the aid of a spellchecker. It would make every post take half an hour. Whilst you or I do it naturally and quickly, and the spell checker might only highlight one in fifty words, for him it might highlight one in two, and some words can be spelled several ways.

This place should be fun and involving for dyslexic people too. As long as he makes sense and can be understood, what's the problem? And if he doesn't, then ask him to clarify.
