I much prefer dumb ass. I love the looks some of them give me when I say that. I usually just say truth hurts don't it.
I was reading it thinking this guy can't spell for crap... then realized... but yep, I can read it at my normal reading speed, weird huh.

Being dyslexic...
What is wrong with that ?
That is what words look like in my head.

Drove a smart for years. We did do the calculations, it would fit OVER the wheel wells of a dodge dually, and fit in the bed

I almost bought a Smart car, but the DW bag would not fit, if we both rode in it, so we went with a van instead.
You should see the looks you get at Costco
PRICELESS, when it all fits. BTW, do'nt mess with my wife when it comes to puzzle packing a car
I can read it.
It's brain mapping. I am surprised that only 55/100 can read it. It makes me wonder if the other 45 can read properly typed/spelled words.
@Neb Have you ever tried the colored screen/lenses? (They have a name that has escaped my poor little mind at the moment). It is amazing how looking at words through a colored filter can change their appearance. It's essentially just going through the color screens and when you lay it over the text, you will SEE that it is clear and in order.

I never heard of such a thing.
I went through a grueling 6 hour test about 25 years ago and at the end I was told "Yup you are dyslexic!". I asked if anything could be done and told no. It did qualify me as disabled under the ADA. That let me take exams in private rooms devoid of distractions and no time limits. The extra rime let me turn the exam paper upside down so i could read it upside down. That actually helped me catch those silly gotcha questions.
Guess I should look into the lens thing.
Thank you
Ben
The vast majority of us 'mad scientists' were born dyslexic.
The first clue is when they cannot determine if we are right-handed or left-handed.
We can write crappy with both.
They did extensive research and found it was the cross-wiring in our brains that lets us use both sides of our brain instead of just the 'dominant' side for reasoning.
BTW, growing up that way ain't no picnic ☹.
I hear ya. I was left handed but would use both hands so they made me be right handed because "it's a right handed world." It messed up my equilibrium and I had to take special classes for a short time to regain my balance. So now I write right handed and do most other things left handed. And, yep - I'm pretty messed up - Ha!The vast majority of us 'mad scientists' were born dyslexic.

I have always been very right handed. But I have tried to force myself to use left hand more. If nothing else just to have options and some knowledge should anything happen to my right hand or arm. I have gotten to the point I only use a mouse with left hand, can shoot a little left handed, use some tools. Still long way to go. I can't write worth a crap with either hand.
I'm ambidextrous!
I still get my lowercase b and d mixed up especially if either one spells a word:
Like boom and doom, it's the same word.
On the other hand, (right, left, handed pun
) this right here, this is simple:

There's a dark side? How do I find it?
You have to apply first...
Then you go thru initiation...
Then you are granted access...
Then you say: "wait, that's all that's there?"

I was told I am dyslexic, went to be tested, the lady took my information & informed me I could not get government funds even if I was dyslexic. "What? I just want to know that's all"
"Still, no benefits for being dyslexic"
I did the test & was told I was dyslexic.
It still confounds me, why anyone would get money for being dyslexic .

If you were in the right place, they would look at your test, then look at each other and nod, and say: "He's one of those" and hand you an aptitude test to see what things are incredibly simple for you to do that are almost impossible for 'normal' people to do.
...After that, you will find that you have a price on your head, from then on ☹:
I love those. I remember doing those exercises in french class in high school. It was fun.
?????, Some things (gov) will never make sense!
Isn't it the icing?
Partly, a muffin doesn't have icing. It's the way they are made. A muffin has a different mixing process and ingredients and is coarser, more dense than a cupcake which is fine textured.
