Why did the person who discovered dyslexia make it so hard to spell?

Good question. Also is the effect of alphabet-ti spaghetti lost on dyslexics??????????

I am so glad someone else mentioned this!  I think it's terrible the way some people spell and the grammar they use. It just makes you wonder:  What did they learn in school?  Spell check works sometimes, but not for everything. A majority of the words that are misspelled are not difficult words, either - just ordinary, everyday words!

the english language has many rules and many acceptions.. and its dyslexia\n\n\n-Lisa T.

Because English has a spelling rules but each rule comes with its exeption.  This makes it very hard for students to be able to learn how to spell because its not very phonetic.

Because some people have far less maturity and brainpower than they do typing skills... and even those are mostly lacking.\n\n~~Naomi

Good question. I'm curious to see some of the answers myself. I 'outgrew' my dyslexia, but I still have some problems, and I have been curious if they are related. I am terrible at math for one, I still do have some problems reading, usually only when I read out loud. When I go to jot down a phone number I will sometimes mix up the numbers. (write down the last bit backwards, or inverted). Sometimes I don't seem to make sense to people, it sounds right in my head, but I have a hard time getting my point across. I feel like maybe their is a short circuit somewhere, and things get mixed up and backward on the way out.

probably not for the spelling lessons.

Two reasons.  First, they don't read very much.  Readers see properly spelled words and then can spell well themselves.  Secondly, people rely so much on spell-checkers.  So they never internalize proper spelling.\n\nPeople who read and write tend to spell well.

Dyslexia refers to any reading difficulty not associated with obvious problems such as bad eyesight. Dyslexia occurs more often in boys and among left-handed individuals. Common dyslexias include the inability to name letters, to read words or sentences, or to recognize words directly even though they can be sounded out. Each kind of dyslexia may reflect different deficits such as in speech-sound processing or memory for word meanings. Likewise, the different dyslexias are probably associated with different brain regions, and most theories focus on nonprimary areas in the frontal lobe and the temporal lobe. (Galaburda, 1994; Rosenzweig, Lieman, et al., 1996;) Recent studies have linked several forms of dyslexia to genetic marker (Grigorenko, 2001; Grigorenko etal., 1997; Grigorenko, Wood, Meyer, & Pauls, 2000).\n\nIt is said to be a neurological disorder with biochemical and genetic markers. Dyslexia was originally defined as a difficulty with reading and writing that could not be explained by general intelligence. One\ndiagnostic approach is to compare their ability in areas such as reading and writing to that which would be predicted by his or her general level of intelligence, but some would say that it is not certain that intelligence should be a predictor of reading or writing ability; and also that the causes, effects and treatments of reading disabilities may be similar for all levels of intelligence.

It means somebody doesn't know how to spell or write English properly.

yes. this is what you said:\n\nI could not believe that I could actually understand what I was reading. The phenomenol power of the human mind, according to a research at Cambridge University, it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be in the right place.\nThe rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without a problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but the word as a whole.\nAmazing huh? yeah and I always thought spelling was important!

Ok sometimes it is hard to figure out what someone having a hard time with the english language is trying to say, but this is impossible to understand!

Dyslexia is a real  neurological disability. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and / or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological component of language that is often unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and the provision of effective classroom instruction. Secondary consequences may include problems in reading comprehension and reduced reading experience that can impede growth of vocabulary and background knowledge.\n\nIf the person is of school age, he or she can be tested through the school system at the parent's written request to the school principal. http://www.dyslexia.com/faq.htm has more information on that.
