Well...
Well, I have found out something that is both comforting and depressing.

I'm dyslexic and if we go through with the tests and such, then my life will proly get a little bit more annoying than it already is.
Dyslexia has nothing to do with how a person sees letter, it's how they are interperted. Instead of things involving language being processed on the left side of the brain, they are sent to the right side which deals mostly in pictures. Even though people who are dyslexic see the same letters, their minds rearange the letters with no concern to the sounds of the letter matching the order. Because of this, new words or even words that the person has been exsposed to cannot be easily figured out because the letter to sound connection is not there.

This explains my spelling and hearing errors.

But that does not make me dumb. I have a high GPA and all but one of my classes are advanced.

So don't EVER call someone with a disability such as dyslexia dumb, retarded, or stupid because they have it.

Not only is it rude, it's damn hurtful.
