"The Oxford Dictionary decides But that's my point how do you no its spelt rite ? If sumone spelt a word rong in it, no one wood no about it and then think that's how to spell it...." A lot of modern words have evolved over the years, just look at how Shakespeare and others used english compared to now. You've got to have a starting point which as the guy says might be the English dictionary The chances are that the guy who first used a word has been dead for century's so you can't ask him so just go with the flow | |||

Wot if sumone tort you rong cos thay wos tort rong. You woodount no that you wos tort rong and think wot you have been tort is rite. My point im making is how can anyone say wot is rite spelling and wot is not rite spelling wen for all you no you cood be rong to. Ritton words have been about for a verry verry verry long time. Hoos ses the 1st purson to spell a word and tetch it spelt it rite to start with ? Just food for thort..... Wot do you think about this ?" I think the written word has been much refined since back in the day. If we spelt words the same as days of yore, you'd probably be correcting us seaside | |||

"My teachers taught me the correct way! I was a big influence on teaching my children (reading and spelling every night) I am sad you feel you were taught to spell incorrectly but I think it is more likely to be a type of Dyslexia. I expect you went under the wire for addressing your problem. Perhaps if you read more you would work out the right way to spell words. You are what you are, was good to see you practice with that Dragon app yesterday." maybe someone dyslexic taught him how to spell? | |||

Sorry I know it is early, but birthday weekend and a few wines, but after 5 months of constant threads about being dyslexic, from the same person, it's like we know already! Why continue to harp on about it, hence give it a break! He used a great APP yesterday that he was proud of, and it worked, yet again has reverted to this.....why? | |||

"Sorry Seeside, you may be dyslexic but why all your posts have to be about the same thing is beyond me. I personally find it strange when you spell one word right then spell it wrong again in the very next sentence, when you say you have a specific way of spelling. I know some are horrible about bad spelling and some pander to you, but please give it up at times. And yes I am aware some will call me the big bad witch for this, but sometimes people, give it up! " Eek here comes the 24 hour ban for voicing an opinion! (I know all too well about this) I do genuinely agree though, for the longest time I couldn't get "their, there and they're" right, constantly mixing them up. It used to bug everyone I knew to no ends as other than that my spelling and grammar are relatively good, so what I ended up doing was practising the different uses. Boom now I can use them properly. Seeside in response to your question - yes it does matter because that is the universally accepted way of communicating the English language, you do you fella but don't be overly surprised when people don't get "you" | |||

" I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. " That was an eye opener - I could actually read that just as quickly as if it was spelled correctly.

"Seaside's writing does what it says on the tin, it aint hard to follow." I'm sorry, I admit I really struggle trying to decipher what he is trying to say, but I will also say I was taught in 5 different primary schools and 3 different secondary schools due to my dad being in the army so we moved around a lot, I just had to get used to the new ways of teaching....to me that was just life | |||

"Schools today are a bit more tolerant i think of those who struggle to keep up and go a bit further to help them try and catch up and get the extra help they need. Back in my day you were shipped off to a remedial class where you either sunk without a trace or tried to claw your way out back to mainstream classes. Sometimes you got lucky with a brilliant teacher other times you had a teacher who looked at you as if you were a waste of space before you closed the door. I now read with my 6 year old most nights, he gets homework from School (maths and language based) and he's only 6. Not silly fluffy homework either, proper sums and words to learn for spelling tests. I didn't get homework till i started Comprehensive School! " Half term holiday homework for my year 4 lad .... that's plain evil We fought long and hard to get him out of so-called assisted teaching, and back in to the main stream, and he's come on leaps and bounds with proper teaching | |||

I left school with absolutely nothing, not a single grade, joined the army at 16 and after a few years they realised I couldn't read or write.

Well that sounds good I applied to go straight onto the parkes dept as a appentice and from there to college, the path I took has gone now as the show greenhouses I attended as a apprentice have all shut down which was a big part of my time when working on the different parks, so no one else would experience what I did in that sense which is a shame over 40 years ago now, used to mix our own compost after digging it out of the turf stack on site after steraliseing it then after so many barrow fulls we would add the other Ingredients which is what we used to pot plants and set seed in in the final Ingredient being john Innes we grew some beautiful plants thou I weakened by back when double digging at 17 still comes back after all this time but my love for the subject is still there and the memories then and since. | |||

I did Latin for 3 years. what use that was I don't quite know as I didn't become a Nun so did my ex and he became an accountant. i like studying animals and plants so it would've been handy for me but no-one taught it to me. When I first left school I went to normal college first but also a horticultural college which Introduced you to plant names in latin you would have probably enjoyed that, have a look and see if you have a college near to you that could help you. when i left school i was going to go to preston horticulture and agriculture college but had to get a job, so i would have loved that yeah. dunno if that school still exists but i can't go to a regular college yet, but could do some online courses in the mean time i guess. i know some basics of all languages so i can kind of understand a lot of stuff from that and that helps. Well that sounds good I applied to go straight onto the parkes dept as a appentice and from there to college, the path I took has gone now as the show greenhouses I attended as a apprentice have all shut down which was a big part of my time when working on the different parks, so no one else would experience what I did in that sense which is a shame over 40 years ago now, used to mix our own compost after digging it out of the turf stack on site after steraliseing it then after so many barrow fulls we would add the other Ingredients which is what we used to pot plants and set seed in in the final Ingredient being john Innes we grew some beautiful plants thou I weakened by back when double digging at 17 still comes back after all this time but my love for the subject is still there and the memories then and since. " do you still work in the field? i'm quite interested in plant biology and some science there. | |||

Hoos ses the 1st purson to spell a word and tetch it spelt it rite to start with ? Just food for thort..... Wot do you think about this ? Are you blaming your education for your dyslexia?

I have a pretty decent grasp on grammar etc, however I dont think I have the right skills or patience to tutor someone with dyslexia only because I do not have the full understanding of the different types (I know for some coloured paper and screens help them read without words jumping) Helping my nephews with spellings though I'm shit hot haha.. I know my limitations unfortunately, if we could find someone to help others though it would be a brilliant way for people to give back and help. these people will be out there and happy enough to help, but like we said it is finding them. luckily my ex is good at that stuff and maths else our kids would be dumbasses. think i wanna find someone to tutor me now i've thought about it." Go for it there is nothing to say we have to stop learning just because we get to a certain age.. once im settled in my own house Im going to look at the open university for a course to try | |||

"Try reading some Chaucer " http://www.thehistoryofenglish.com/history_old.html Very interesting reading for those really interested in this topic. This stuff still fascinates me even years (I probably should say decades) after finishing college. | |||

" yeah good teachers help a lot. you should do that. it's really fascinating, especially if you've lived this stuff or seen it for yourself and can truly understand it. i've been studying for about 10 years now, since my sister had her breakdown and i hadn't got a clue what was going on. then i studied a bit of neurology because it was part of that and i just found it interesting, there's a lot branches off from studying the brain and it's all interesting (to me anyway). psychology is branching more into how physically we are made up and what happens in the brain there to affect us mentally. i used to think shoving people on tablets was a cop out but now i know how and why they work i don't think that any more. plus my sister told me what her tablets do and how they make her feel and she backs up what i've learned there. | |||

When you suffer a debilitating affliction that has caused you stress all your life, you do start to obsess about it... It doesn't help when people pick up on your mistakes and take the time to point it out publicly.. I suffer nominal aphasia, I cannot recall people's other place names.. It can be highly embarrassing and it has held me back (failed English literature due to not being able to remember any characters names) I can fully understand why the op obsesses this subject, you would too if you lived it. | |||

"Sorry Seeside, you may be dyslexic but why all your posts have to be about the same thing is beyond me. I personally find it strange when you spell one word right then spell it wrong again in the very next sentence, when you say you have a specific way of spelling. I know some are horrible about bad spelling and some pander to you, but please give it up at times. And yes I am aware some will call me the big bad witch for this, but sometimes people, give it up! " Let the lad have his fun? | |||
