This is just a general chatty chitty thread nothing to serious just a bit of fun for your lunch time... LOL (god bless you ray foley)........

I was just wondering if anybody else has started suffering from dyslexia since they started using the internet/computer/mobile phone.

I have noticed my own spelling is terrible I am gone so used to spell check doing it for me that I am just putting down the closest thing to it and then changing it to what I am told by the computer.

It's even worse on my phone, everything (even stuff dat makes sense only to me) is shortened down examples are idk=I dont care, wat=what, dat=that..........

I am bringing this up because I have a 5-year-old daughter who as it is has started using the computer as part of her school curriculum. Will she like me become too lazy to learn how to spell correctly? I really don’t want this to happen but I don’t know how to change it is it going to be a case of “do as I say but not as I do”. In an age where technology is a big part of our every day living are we loosing touch with our most basic learning skills?

(Yes I put this into a blank word document to check my spelling before posting it)…

I wasn't suggesting people with dyslexia were any less educated than the next. I suffered dyslexia in school and was made go to what we called then the slow learners class. I then took ALOT of outside class in spelling writing reading etc, and after years of practice I became much better... (ha ha the teachers had to stick there red pens)....... I was merely making an observation as to how lazy I have become when it comes to spelling am I slipping into my old ways because it is made so easy for me because of technology and is it more likely for my daughter to become a lazy learner too…
