VapingBad would you say this is an accurate representation of dyslexia
geon.github.io/programming/2016/03/03/dsxyliea
Might help others realise the difficulties that people with dyslexia have

Not for me, but it was explained to me a a super-set of symptom that any one dyslexic will have a sub-set of.  Words don't move about for me, but I do reorder, skip and insert letters & words, skip and reread lines in my brain while reading.  Paragraphs with jagged central justification are almost illegible to me.  I don't have much of a problem with numbers unless I am stressed, then mistakes start happening I buy the wrong thing online, the other week I set the cruse control for 60 at a local speed camera that I been going past for over 15 years and has always been a 50 limit, I knew something was wrong but couldn't work it out in time, luckily it had run out of film.  Organising written and verbal communication, anything involving and ordered list longer than 2 like directions, spelling, grammar, punctuation and poor short term memory are the main places it affects me.   ETA I can't pronounce many new words correctly until I hear someone else do it.

Many people get dealt a far worse hand from mother nature, it just one on these things that can't be cured, can be helped, because it's invisible and other people don't realise unless you speak up and a culture that looks down on people with literacy problems make that a whole lot harder if you do or if you don't. That's why I speak out if the subject arises and not for sympathy etc.

Ecig reviewers that say *MAR* instead of Milli Amp Hours

Adults that eat with their mouths open

Limp handshakes (from a man) Eurghhhhhhh! I have to shake hands with lots of people in my work

Ppl tht spk or rite in Txt speak

Standing having a wee in a public loo and counting the people that do not wash their hands after using the toilet

Doors on Men's toilets that have handles forcing me to touch the handle that the last unwashed hand did to get out

British people abroad that think that if they shout English at a local that they will be understood

Drivers that don't put their lights on when it's raining (It's not so you can see, it's so I can see YOU)

Smelly (B.O.) people, I simply cannot walk behind someone or be in the same room as someone that is a shower dodger, it makes me wretch

Hanging washing out with different colour pegs on an item, they MUST be the same colour!

Not using full stops at the end of sentences

*and breathe*

If you're turning RIGHT then you should be in the RIGHT HAND LANE!

However; I grew up in Harlow

I almost always did that for a few hours in the car after I had just spent several hours driving something a hell of a lot bigger, maybe it was because with a long trailer you didn't have any other choice but to use the all the lanes

When I passed my driving test there was only one, recent, roundabout in town, so some older than me passed driving tests without negotiating a roundabout and it shows

One lady told me she didn't like driving in cities (neither do I, just too busy) because you had to get into the proper lane on roundabouts unlike here where you can just sort of position your car in the middle
