My best friend and golf pro is dyslexic as well. He works very hard at it. It is one of the reasons he won't join a discussion board. But he is one heck of a golfer and instructor.

Use spell check. There's no need to have any misspellings.

Two words. Moe Norman. With golf being so counter intuitive its probably an advantage when on the course.

I've suffered from dyslexia for as long as I can remember. I've learned to be pretty fastidious in my reading and typing as a result. No need to worry, mate. You're coming through loud and clear.

thanks all, i do it with typing speaking and reading. BUT not with numbers. what i do for a living requires me to see and read numbers clearly so thank god it doesn't effect that. I will do my best to keep them clear thanks and its neat to hear that theres others with my problem cause i've never met someone with it.

I wish my English teacher were dyslexic. That would make things a heck of a lot easier.

Hello leftone: No problem, you write it and we'll read it. I am a writer and find mistake after mistake after mistake. And that's following editing procedures. What's important is what you write.

It doesn't put the "s" in realisation either. So, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa lose a "u" and replace "s" with "z." As you see, the punctuation rules differ too. With Americans using "double" quotation marks when you use "single" ones, and vice versa. Also, you put the final period outside the closing quotation marks, and America puts the final period inside. Nevertheless, there are more similarities than differences in the ways we speak and write.

I won't pick on "u," and neither of us will be an "s" when it comes to "z"!

UK does not replace "s" with "z" - realisation, organisation etc.. never seen single quotes in a UK paper either, but now you mention it I will keep a look out.
