my oldest brother is probably the smartest person I know - and he was
dyslexic too. He is also a graduate chemical engineer, former union
organizer, economics professor (masters degree) and it's obvious that
while spelling and grammar checkers are a must for people with these
problems, the truth is that it's about effective communication and I
don't have much patience for those who want to insist on rules of
communication rather than just appreciate the communication.
