So is it the same if we use a blue coloured font on here Bibio ? I can`t help but notice you have a Blue Smurf as your avatar and am now suspecting you of using it to get a bit "Trippy"

Aggressive at school - not really
hand writing - worse than a doctors - I write things the wrong way round as well, s's and 5's for example
Spelling - always been bad, if it has more than six letters and I don't use it all the time I have to look it up

And in this post before posting it I have spelt the following words wrong:

worng
Agressive
exmaple

i'm not colour blind, i have for a word 'coloured text' blindness its weird. the first time i was tested it freaked me out as i thought i was having a 'flashback'. but it has made all the difference where before i could read something it would not go into the brain for love nor money, but when using the overlays it goes in and i can understand what is written. another thing with the overlays is i can read whole pyrograph's quickly where before i had to read one word at a time.

So basically , you are only ever going to come cross that scenario reading magazines . I have had a similar issue with Red text on Green backgrounds , or was it the other way around ? Anyhooo , I haven`t put it down to anything medical , but the words just jumped and jarred as I tried to read them so I have an idea of that which you are explaining .

he he he my 2 pence time, you will see from this post that a, my spelling is atrosous and b, i can bearly speak english let alone write it

i am a paddy, a dyslexic paddy at that ,so i dont give a carp how i write especially on this form, now here's the but

But what i have found when reciving and giving advice (bad advice is my speciality) is sectioning ,this i have found to clear up matter emencely

plowsie who is a mate yet enjoys pointing it out constantly comments on my affection for 1,2,3's and spaces eg
1. this dont make it harder
2, its easyier to understand
4, and most important i dont speak text

this makes even my rollocks spelling and grammer easyier for others to comprehend

quick one for the lads also aflicked ,my brain goes faster than hands which is why i mainly use letters from the next word in the previous one if ya get what i mean not the other way round

one final point and this is slightly confusing for me is why being dyslexic do you use text speak ,as i find it even harder to comprehend due to my bd and pq issues
now thats not a jib just a honest question which i would actually like to hear the answer too

sir dave of preston, jester of the pennie massive ,commander of the of the royal sarchasim and chief executioner of heathen southerners (and the odd yorkshireman)

wow thats strange never knew that mind you i dont have a problem with reading so i asume they dident bother testing me with them :/

hmm daveP i think i find TXT speak easy because my brain dosent have a problem keeping up with my hands where as wrighting like this it does, now as you sead its your hands that carnt keep with your brain so the shorter words would mean your brain works even less making it faster so you hands strugle more to keep up ?

ohh and i end up wrighting random words because my brain isent keeping up and may hands are going to fast so i will end up with somthing like "the its" in stead of "the thing" no idea why but some times i will end up with the its thing lol

i'm the same with txt speak Dave (i cant understand the bleedin stuff but i'm 42), i would rather type as i speak even though my typing skills are quite good my brain still goes faster than my fingers can go. but some (younger) people can type a lot faster than me so their fingers are going faster than their brain even faster if they use txt speak.
