Words are an author’s or is it authors ... tool.
We’re supposed to wield them with absolute precision, as any professional in their field would.
What happens when an author spells something wrong?
What happens when the wrong punctuation is used?
What happens if no one knows that the author could have a learning disability?
What happens when a person with a reading or learning disability loves to do one thing…write. Even though that person hated English class, and everything about it.
What if that person remembers what a verb is…is because of those commercials on TV? VERB it’s an action.
What if that person has no idea what a run on sentence is?
And no matter how many times, someone can explain it to them, they have to write it down in order to remember it.
It’s frustrating and embarrassing, because they know, their words are not coming out correctly.
And even though it’s wanted, it’s hard to join in on online chats with others, for fear that, they may spell a word wrong, or more than one word wrong.
What if people look at them differently because they spelled a word or words wrong?
What if they do join in, they may not talk much, maybe a one or two word reply to most posts, and maybe smiley faces.

I am a certified tutor for The Barton Program. I once tutored children and adults with Dyslexia.
Dyslexia is a reading disability that can be mild to profound and severe. Dyslexia is often accompanied with other disabilities, such as SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder), Dyscalculia (Math’s dyslexia), Dysgraphia (Writing), and ADD, or ADHD. The list can go on, and on.
Dyslexia is genetic and can pass from one generation to the next. One brother may have ADHD, the other may have Dyslexia.
Dyslexia is in my family.
