Stein,
what I claim is that I have no problem what so ever to pass test for what I
passed test for in 1970's.
Nor do I have any problem understanding British-English. The British English
Grammar and Syntax is more distinct than American English Grammar and
Syntax. That neither of you seem to be aware of the problem all dyslextic
person have while writing direct doesn't help your case. Dyslextic persons
often are very good in understanding and speaking several other languages
but do have problem spelling, doing interpunctation in all languages
including their own, writing long sentences and such but contrary to your
assumption Stein most dyslextic persons I have met are very good in other
languages. As well as in Mathematics and Music. Many of this worlds most
genius persons are and have been dyslextic.
I know my IQ and EQ. IF you can't follow my writing from A -> B and put it
together with B -> C under condition this or that, say more about your own
skill then it does of mine.
