Subject: RE: BS: 1 in 10 Mudcatters are dyslexic.
Now get this, one in ten people are dyslexic. The reason you are unaware of all the dyslexics missing on chat forums is because reading and spelling may prevent them from posting.

Just a point of logic, Don - if there are fewer dyslexics posting on Mudcat than non-dyslexics, then the "1 in 10" statistic does not apply to Mudcatters. Ergo - the "1 in 10 Mudcatters are dyslexic" title is actually not true.

In other words, the Mudcat Forum population is not a standard sample of the whole population, so the "1 in 10" ratio may actually be 1 in 20, or 1 in 30, etc., on Mudcat.

Just a thought.
