Coming back after a weekend and finding this...

I don't think that people with learning disabilities like dyslexia should be kept from participating in public debate just because of their disability, do you Wolfgang? (Carol)

No, I don't, and I thought I had never posted anything remotely similar to that. I do a lot of proofreading and I know what is expected from me: First, and foremost, to check a last time all the facts and, second, to eliminate minor errors like spelling.

In the context of my previous posts, I would have thought it was clear that spelling was not in my mind at all when tackling Bobert. Spelling only bothers me when it interferes with the understanding or with the finding of information and Bobert has done nothing wrong in this respect in his posts here in this thread. What bothers me is the wrong information and not how it is spelt.

But Bobert has for instance written 'Bagdad' instead of 'Iraq'. This is not a spelling error.

I admit it has made me angry that Bobert has in no way acknowledged the correction. I would have expected a simple three-word sentence like 'I have erred' or 'I stand corrected' but there was nothing of that kind. When I asked him again he posted that he has a busy life.

I rephrase the central sentence of my last post and avoid the word 'proofread' that may have led some of you to read something into my sentence that I had never meant:

If you are too busy to check your facts, don't post that particular post. No implications involved about (a) spelling and (b) other posts.
