What is Bigetlexia. Bigitry about people with trouble reading and spelling.
I’ve written may times about how people don’t understand dyslixics . If you are dyslexic you are just considerd stupid and most of the time it’s the smart educated people that are the wrost.
Today I heard a great storie on NPR that supports my issue. It was about how many words are in the English language? 500,000? 1 million? A linguist says there is no way to really count all the words. What’s more, he wonders why people even care.
Being dyslixic, and therefor a audio thinker, you know many words. Dyslixics, more often then not, have very large vocablaries. The trouble comes in spelling even small words. This disconnect is hard for even dyslixics to understand. Why the word CAT is any different then the work ACT or TAC and why people can’t understand it in a sentence like, “The act jumped off the roof.” is hard for me to understand. I’m sure some of you pictured a group of actors jumping off my house. A very abstract thought. But the words on the page or abstract in them selves. How is making a small logical step to correct the world any different.
People as me just how ard is it. Its hard to explain. I’m typing this pariagph and i’m not correcting it on purpose just to show you how the words come out of my head. I’m not ven looking at the page because some times I can see mistakes. The computer highlights time for me. So this is how i think. With everh glish is correction out of place.
Back to the show.. Please lisson to this.
So my are people snobs? Why do some people have to treat people with simple imferities with such open distain? Does it make them feel better about the selfs to belittle someone else because they misspell the work CAT? I’m sure none of the people how have treated be poorly because of my problem over the years would win a spelling bee. And I’d guess people who have won spelling bee’s would be more understanding then them.
God please, could just be over my bigetry about spelling bitets. Could you help me care less about people who intilexualy sit me in the back of the bus?
