Not age, my spelling is actually improving-lol. My brother is dyslexic and my younger daughter who gets A's and A+'s (when did they start this A+ stuff-lol)in physics, math and chemistry is just average in languages.

Some genetic defect probably-lol.

My brother was so bad they thought he might be mentally retarded, so they gave him an IQ test which put him in the top 10%. Nevertheless, he was ridiculed so much he quit school in the 8th grade. This was before they understood dyslexia.

I finally decided to not worry about it and mostly just take a stab at the word. Takes too much time to refine every post.

My only regret is that I had a chance to go to Berkeley for my under graduate work, but knew they required a language and wasn't sure I could get through it, so opted for a state college.

Also, I saw an intereting exercise once where they scrambled all the words in a paragraph except the first and last letter and one could easily read the paragraph.

I always figured understanding existentialism is more important than knowing how to spell it-lol.

So as I told Herb once, I just took a zen approach and concentratd on what I was saying, not how I was spelling it-lol.

Greatly reduces my stress. Let other people deal with it-lol.
