Why....

[nightprowler10]

And the only person on my ignore list at the moment is Richard, so I wouldn't be worrying that nearly everyone's on ignore (just approximately half the posts on cricket chat)

As someone who sent Heef lolcat via email, I have to say I'm astonished.

Everyone makes errors now and again Richard

Have noticed the odd "perminant" etc from yourself

There's some words (perminant\permanent being one of them) that I just always get wrong and no matter how many times I spell-check-correct the thing I just keep doing it. cpr has never been one I've noticed make many errors at all though, as I say, which is why I was surprised.

He's got dyslexia

Oh right, I see. Funny, TBH I'd never noticed, because by-and-large his wording and punctuation is first-rate. Which was why I was so surprised at 3 slip-ups in 1 post, because I can only remember about 1 previous 1 in 5,000 previous posts.

Corrin's right, my brain is backwards. Tend not to make spelling mistakes as I stick to words I can spell (plus Opera has those fuzzy red lines under crap spelling, a la Word, can see about 5 in this post that I'm ignoring). Grammatically known to **** up, esp stuff like tenses (eg there/their), actually have to think about them and concentrate.

However none of it excuse for blatantly lazy posting, which is what that was

I never really understood why dyslexia is treated differently to simply having a natural difficulty in spelling. Both are basic conditions of the brain that cannot be changed, and the net effect is identical, but one is treated with much more respect than the other. Can anyone explain to me why that is?

Can't say it's a pattern I'd ever noticed TBH.

Try, on a personal level, to sympathise fully with both things and not to make a big deal out of something frankly fairly immaterial.

Am waiting for Smitteh to go all Peter Le Fleur on your arses, he's sick of being your Fonzy.

A big call, but one that's hard to argue with.

Nah, reckon each of the previous 50-odd occasions which have induced posts which say the exact same as this one have a fair case too.

From Graeme Swann's twitter:
