That's very true and clever.

Though I did think you were a bit pissed to begin with *giggle*

It is indeed very clever... but on my behalf cos I stole it (though as I stole it from someone without a LJ I don't have to admit it as they therefore don't exist in LJland...)

That's really clever. Shakespeare had the right idea. Jumble the letters around, it doesn't matter. Not got the right word, invent one, so long as it conveys the right sound across and has some basis in other words people will interpret it. Nobody can ever criticise my spelling again!

It takes a bit longer to read, but I can still read it pretty quickly.

Amazing what these university people come up with, innit.

Wow! thats so true!!

and I thought it was just years of practice of marking crap kids' work !

...mindst you, some of the really weird kids can write far more incomprehensibly than this

for example, I bet you don't know what your travis are ?

Interesting if I write by hand that's how my writing comes out. I appear to be mildly dislexic. But if I use a computer my spelling is fine. May be it's todo with the mechanism as to how my thoughts get down my arms and out of my fingers?

Also I've been watched reading books. Aparently my eyes flit about the page, i.e. I do not read linearly but build the page up in my mind. I wonder whether this explains why I'm crap at learning by just reading but have a near photographic memory and so had to revise by converting textual desciptions in to diagrams and then I'd remember the page and be able to recreate it in the exam which would then jog my memory.
