Bad apples and bad days happen to all of us. Not understanding another person happens to all of us. I am dyslexic and have to look up the simplest of words. Some slip by and some on TOTV put me down, and have for going on 6 years now, and it hurts... I have never said anything about this. Think of others. Use care out there.
I can empathize with you as I'm Dyslexic too. It takes a lot of courage to enter the public world of those who can spell everything. When my kids were little I worked on the school newsletter. One year we sold school "tee ****s" and no body noticed, thus the April fools issue contest was born. We'd leave in the mistakes and see how many kids could find them all. They often found ones we hadn't known about. Then a great presentation was made of interrupting class time and presenting the winners with a candy bar and a coupon for an ice cream at the only store in town. My kids who could spell better then me, saw a good example of being ok not being perfect.
