Please ignore my often (autistically inclined) usually dislexic typo

Latest comment: 12 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

Sadly it has come to my attention .. That my written form of two fingered typo .. on a well worn (read that as: almost impossible to decypher which of these BLACK buttons is the one i want to "hit") almost in-eligible - and thus extremely difficult to tell -- (or to see) which letter buttons are which.

That makes it appear that I am "not an english speaking" New Zealand (natural) KIWI. But I can assure you that I am. As well as being highly dislexic and thus: NOT very good at spelling at any time.

However.

That does NOT give anyone the "often (ab)used excuse .. to revert my pages to some former less written composition .. than what I may have wriiten wrongly in here. As after all -- this IS a discussion page. NOT an open_form Wikipedia (Fact_proven) MAIN PAGE It is the area .. in which I am allowed to "ask" others to help me.. not somewhere that others can "abuse" in order to hinder me.

It is very easy for people to "take" a little (extra) time - especially for those of us whom have spelling disorders .. or grammtical "life" chalenges .. such as myself & my Austically inclined two finger driven "dyslexic" typo - upon "black" (no identifier) well worn keypad buttons.

I also "try to write (type) as fast as i am thinking .. which often lets me jumble up words 9almost as if in "secretarial shorthand mode (my version thereof).

Sadly -- that too -- does NOT gift anyone the right to instantly delete .. what to "me" could be several hours of painstaking typwritten questions .. I am NOT a proficient typist.. I cannot type 300 characters a second .. without splattering keys far and wide. I am also NOT a screen watchwer -- and I have absolutely NO IDEA as to "where" the spell chyeck thingamie is .. let alone if it would even NOW which word is the one I actually wanted to type. Thus beer.. BARE ..

bear .. ?

Whatever..

Stay with me (as I still don't know which "Bair" to use?)

But I do KNOW a lot of things.. it';s just the HOW to type them that confuses me.

At least I finally figured out .. how to "insert" my own form of usermade flag

This user is from Central Otago, NZ.
