If there are thousands of people on Rootschat then there are probably several hundred dyslexics, and I've spotted several, the particular types of spelling and punctuation errors are very characteristic.

Dyslexia is no excuse for putting inadequate information in a query or for using textspeak.  The former in most cases I've seen is due to new people not knowing how to do things and can be politely corrected.  The latter is just bad manners.

On spelling, I would say that even for non-dyslexics it can be very difficult to spot errors in something you have written.

As well as being dyslexic, or rather as part of it, I also suffer from dyscalculia and dysnominea.  The first means that I can't cope with numbers, although I can deal very well with the theory of maths - unfortunately this means I can have great problems with getting dates and census references right.  The second means that I am unable to remember names, which is a slight handicap in family history  Grin
