Poor spelling is a matter of poor memory, not Dyslexia. Its that simple.

I never cared much for spelling when I was young, nor for my times
table. That is, I am usually unable to do most typical x*y sums in my
head, as I literally cant remember the tables. However, even though I am
*not* an expert mathematician, I doubt if there is any plain EE graduate
in this group that has a handle on maths as I do, and demonstrated
(http://www.anasoft.co.uk/physics/gr/index.html).

Essentially, *all* of my English issues can be traced to bad memory, not
comprehension. Period. I understand why I am what I am more than
anybody. If I write a word like "personal" instead of "personnel" its
not because I don't understand the difference in meaning, its because I
don't remember which spelling is the correct one. I read it with the
*correct* meaning, always.

I have said it before, I am way above those that complain on these types
of issues, sure its arrogant but its the truth. The deal is that the
complainers are so full of themselves that they actually think that I
don't know the *meaning* difference between say "personal" an
"personnel". This is absurd. How can someone get to be so stupid in
*general* matters like this, yet still write 100,000 lines for a product
that actually works? Its simply not reasonable. These dudes are so naive
to think that they are so clever, to know the difference in meaning and
erroneously *presume* that I don't, that's why I am on a different
level. Its like they going "nah...nah...
nah.nah.nah...you don't what "personal" an "personnel" mean" Yeah..
right dude...dream on.
