Dear Grab:
It is the degree of lack of understanding shown in your post which made six of the seven LD law students at NYU afraid of being "outed". The fact is, a reporter's spelling is of no consiquence, that is why papers employ proof readers and copy editors. I was the guy who was open about my disability, as I had gotten into school a year or two before the American's With Disabilities Act, so there was not chance that people would doupt I got in on my merits. In fact, those who got in after the AMA also got in with equal merit, however, lack of understanding on the part of many people make LD students afraid of their tallents being questioned. It is not unlike Black students afraid that the lack of understanding that afrimitive action means equal qualification... I'm in no way vexed with you - yours is a common view... all the best, larry
