It's easier than spelling because has a very few logical rules and is a true international language X&Y

(I'm no mathematician, just about functional enough to do engineering)

[X&Y]

I'll take you're word.

I'm too lazy to get interested in it.

I listen to what people like you say, and go with that.

I like to think, and know, i am well qualified in my field.

But it offers no help to anybody on this forum.

So, again, thank you for your help, it's much appreciated.

People with can't do very simple basic algebra like Ohms law, miles per gallon, convert mAh to Wh or convert cooking time between lbs and kg Tease-smiley

.... and people who use mg when they (even if they don't know it) mean mg/ml ! 

Don't know why but this just reminded me of being in a shop in the departure area of Larnaca Airport and American lady 1 says to American lady 2 "How many of these Cyprus dollars...." (it was in the 90s) that is even worse than using Mg (tonne) when you mean mg.

Yup, I was almost going to add the Mg instead of mg mistake as well, but thought I'd be restrained!

I was being tongue in cheek and get that algebra is a closed book to some, but the finer points of spelling, punctuation and grammar are equally unattainable for others and in both cases it is not always for lack of intelligence or laziness, the education system has a lot to answer IMO (not a dig at teachers, rather the system).

It was more not realising the country you have been on holiday in for a week or two has a currency not called dollars that got me.

Different strokes for different folks.

We all feed off of each other.

Pluses and minuses.

Appreciate your help. fella.

[VapingBad]

Not at all mate, no probs here whatsoever with anything you or anyone else has written here.  My posts are probably a bit lots in translation I can never get the balance between writing to much or not explaining what I mean enough, bloody written comms the bain of my life, opps there I go again

[X&Y]

I'm bloody thankful you post here.

I don't want to put anything in my mouth that is going to blow my face off.

I've been vaping near on four years, but i'm no expert, and welome your posts.

Thank you.

[VapingBad]

Cheers X&Y, I learnt about vaping here and continue to do so from so many members and am proud just to be one of them.

Seriously, I've not taken offence at anything and was trying to be tongue in cheek, but the general world view that makes me gob off a bit to and I do so because the difference in my self confidence between before and after I was statemented dyslexic was night and day. It may just help someone not diagnosed have some more confidence or if their kids have difficulty help them, because that and stigma is worst part of a problem. A bit like if a smoker genuinely brings up vaping and are under the impression it is not a good thing you feel duty bound to put the record straight.
(that is not quite what I meant to write, if it seems negative it is not intended to be, quite the opposite)

When I Park my car far away in a car park on it's own so nobody parks next to me and starts bumping mine with their doors.
Then when I return someone out of like 100 spaces available has parked right next to me.
Why?
Idiotic!
Grrrrr it drives me mad

VapingBad would you say this is an accurate representation of dyslexia

Might help others realise the difficulties that people with dyslexia have

its an okay simulation,
it doesn't do the spinning spiders web swirl though and it doesn't stick to transposing small or large letters (guess that's to difficult to code)

the first pair of glasses I got had a UV tint on them (mirrored) which cut down on the spinning effect, my newer glasses just have the UV filter without tinting (which also cuts down on the glare from screens) my original pc had a "green screen" button on the monitor (my missus hated it) so I could use the screen without getting ill, every pc since has had the ability to change chromatic settings (so I can shift everything to be off white/light grey) when my work went from green screen dumb terminals to standard black/white on TFT true black  networked terminals I was unable to work for 2 weeks until they unlocked the ability to change screen colour settings (was funny cos no bugger else did any of the paperwork....)

now the worst time is when tired, then even the filtered lens don't fix anything, of course reading is only half the problem,
