Is this correct or incorrect

I wish people would stop using dyslexia as a crutch and excuse

I totally agree. However, people spell things wrong here all the time. All of the younger PT'ers have every second word spelt wrong. I am not sure why everyone is going after juju?

CD- I wasn't "going after" the OP. Despite the person's comment that I was hiding behind the term 'joke', I truly was JOKING. When I read the post, that WAS the first thing that came to my mind. The grammar. It was funny to me. It was a play on words, really. The excuse of dyslexia was kind of weak...and really, I think a slap in the face to anyone that does have it, and struggles to not be limited or labeled by it. To think that dsylexia causes someone to not capitolize (Vela- did I spell it right this time?) correctly is a little off.

I can't figure out why some of these people are all so upset about this. It seems a little overboard to me, really.

Where did I say YOU were going after her?

I know your first post was a joke, I found it funny myself but I think you knew that it wasn't going to be percieved as a joke. Jokes can be hurtful too...

I just re-read your post...you did say 'going after'...you might not have meant me, specifically. But, that was what I was responding to.

Sure, jokes can be hurtful. The truth can be hurtful. Life hurts. But, some of these posters are totally going WAY beyond what there was. I meant it as a joke. How others take it isn't really my concern. I can't control that. It isn't like I said, "wow, you are some really stupid person- ha ha, isn't that funny". The plain truth is- I meant it as a joke. As a play on the words of the thread, "is this correct or is incorrect...." . There was no sinister plot. For others to imagine there was makes me wonder what THEY really think, and are too timid to say. I have to imagine that these same posters actually live life, outside their homes, not in front of a computer, and interact with people. Surely, they have met others that don't carbon copy their view of life????

Like they have some personal issue here....and, I find it kind of funny.

I know I said "going after", it just wasn't directed to you. All I wanted to know was why people were going after her and not the others that spell like crap.

I agree that it has been blown out of proportion.

Oh. I see. I don't know why this is an issue with this poster, but, not others. I do think we are dumbing down across the world....

I am going to close this thread, as the grammar "joke"/comments/dyslexia/battle have totally taken over the thread's original purpose. I believe her original question has been answered in any case.
