Thread Name: dyslexia jokes offensive?
Subject: RE: dyslexia jokes offensive?
I wondered if that might be the case, Steve, but that one actually doesn't work for me in a dyslexic way. The letters are too scrambled. Dyslexia doesn't create an anagram, just a gentle reshuffle of letters into similar words. Santa-Satan, left-felt, was-saw. (It's quite a helpful condition when one is interested in generating puns!)

No, I wasn't referring to any specific post when I commented on the misspellings, and there is always a margin of typo-errors in any of these threads anyway.

The "boost basic comprehension" ad at the bottom of this thread is actually poorly placed; dyslexia is a condition usually found in very bright people. Once we figure out what was written, comprehending it isn't a problem.
