I was a kindergarten teacher in Thailand for a while and one of the girls in my class had dyslexia.
As well, one of my co-teachers had the condition.
In both cases, the condition had noticeable impact on their spelling, and sometimes grammar and sentence structure.
However, the condition seemed in no way to have any impact on their presence of mind/decision making.
darral, here is a life lesson for you, and the sooner you learn this, the sooner people will stop picking on you in school and the sooner you can fit into society (get a good job and a nice wife).
Firstly, respect yourself before you expect anyone else to respect you.
You come off with the demeanor of a 13-year-old, and that is how we know you are 13 (and you told us, but we already knew).
When you enter a new forum, you have options.
Stay cool, don’t get all excited, don’t type in capital letters, don’t trail everything with a million exclamation marks, and don’t beg.
Type in a calm, cool, and collected manner. Think about what you type before you type it.
Since you are 13, maybe you won’t be so great at that part.
Type a calm sentence and possibly end it with a smiley face for light mood.
When people see this from a person, they think, “Calm, steady, mature, possibly intelligent, etc.†That gets respect.
You’re 13, but you can be 13 without being a child.
Because of the words you choose, maybe people will be able to tell you are young, but if you follow the rest of the things (which you CAN control), people will at least see you as young, but mature.
So, don’t worry about word choice much. You’re 13, so it is okay if you don’t pick exactly the rightest words.
I’m saying that twice because I don’t want you or anyone else to think I am asking you to be perfect.
You may not yet have all the words and you may not be able to spell, but you DO control your demeanor.
my dad has got me a new pc
NO PROGRAMS!!!
WERE CAN I GET A DEBUGGER AND DISSASEMBLER
Stop with the obnoxious exclamation marks. It shows you’re a child (or mentally failed adult).
Asking where to get things in capital letters shows that you are demanding.
Typing in capital letters means you are shouting.
That means if you want to shout, type in capitals.
But adults don’t shout every (or more than half) sentence. Children do.
So stop using capital letters.
Without picking on your spelling or word choice at all, you could have come across as competent with these simple modifications:
my dad has got me a new pc , but no programs
where can i get a debugger and dissasembler?
Do you understand this?
Read this over and over until you understand.
Realize what you are doing to get people to laugh at you.
Stop doing those things.
It has nothing to do with your spelling, and don’t hide behind dyslexia.
Half the people here have terrible spelling because they are not native English speakers.
Everyone understands that and everyone here is forgiving of spelling.
People are laughing at you because you act like a child and you show no self-respect at all.
I already pinpointed the exact changes you need to make but here they are again:
Stop acting excited.
Stop capitalizing everything.
Stop trailing things with a million exclamation marks.
Stop begging—people with self-respect don’t beg. They ask. And they can take “No†for an answer.
Type in a relaxed manner. Type calmly, and keep it quiet.
Try to choose your words better, but if you can’t, at least follow everything else.
