So you (and Ainakeeper) think that every case of dyslexia is the same, and everyone should be able to write exactly like your friend does? I have a stepson who is very bright, and who has more social and leadership skills at 21 than I ever will, but he has a form of dyslexia and has problems with reading and writing. I'm a professional writer and editor, and I'm very good with words -- but at many other things, such as sports that involve coordination, I'm hopeless. I think that's true for most people -- each of us is good at some things, and not so good at others. I've been reading Henry's posts since he joined this forum, and they're always thoughtful and intelligent. (It's not as if he writes things like, "OMG!!! Hawaiii is jus t 2 KOOL!!!!") I've never seen him respond rudely to anyone on this forum. It seems to me that he gets the "spirit of aloha" and is the type of person who will fit in well in Hawaii. If you don't like the way he writes, then don't read his posts -- but there's no reason to be rude when you don't know him.

My boss tell people i never hired hank for his writeing skills and you can figure out what i hired him for you can have his job because he want's to retire on me .

That why my boss tells them that i do not pay hank a 6 figure salary because he a warm & cuddy person and just love's everyone ..I pay him that salary because he can produce ..

Now i have a person who i tell everthing to and they put into the proper grammer and sentence forum for me at work ..That part of her job is to been my personal letter or Email writer for work ..

Most of the people here where born around 1980's and later and you have the benfit of a good school system that helped people like me .When i was going up there was no teacher who where taught about haveing to deal with a kid learning problems..

Most of the teacher in my time frame if you did not get you got pushed to the socalled dummy or sweathog class and there you stayed into you got out of highschool ..

Now with that beening said you have probalby a better education i did growing up and they had the program's in place by the time you got into school to handle people like me ..

Dyslexia has nothing to do with run on sentences.

"here mainly my computer has been sitting there not beeing used in the house because i have been useing the ipad more than the computer with it free wifi at the diff places i go into to get something to eat or drink at in the morning or afternoon time frame to check emails or send a email out ..then it little websurfing to find out the new's and check on somethings i order and maybe a quick look over a few website's i have posted on then it the unit turned off and i have not picked it again intill the morning.."


Otherwise I think you have made wonderful progress, if what you say is true. Keep plugging... but review your posts carefully before submitting them so folks can concentrate on what you're saying.

Not so.

Quote: "Poor Handwriting

Children who suffer dyslexia have difficulty in coordinating their visual and motor skills, and this is often exhibited through their handwriting. Writing is a chore that the child struggles with and the task is often slow and laborious. It is quite common to find that sentence written by a child who suffers from dyslexia are often long run-on sentences filled with spelling errors with the absence of punctuations and capital letters."

Than I stand corrected. Thank you...

Keep in mind that overall I was trying to be supportive and encouraging.

Still I do know that when "anyone" previews their "work" carefully it becomes a better learning experience.

Keep plugging with your self improvement Henry1.

If you wish, thank you for pointing out my simple typo. At least I do not use "your" when "you're" is correct...

Henry1, were you satisfy with the results of assistant here on your WiFi question?

smoothly and others you are going to hurt with the force of a hurricane ..So on this long path your must allways be at your best because when you at you best the people come onto the path are at there best
