Mainly when I read, stuff moves around and I can't read phonetically i learned to read by memorizing how words look as a whole. so I sometimes get words that sounds the same mixed up and my spelling is garbage. So whatever my keyboard gives me is what I go with. Thanks for the empathy and compassion.

Are you in a position to get some help with dyslexia/VPD? I have a friend in his 40s that is just getting his dyslexia/calculia addressed, and it is helping quite a bit.

Yeah I was taught coping skills back in the 90s. It hasn't affected me that much. I hold down a good job and communicate just fine with everyone I need to. Only issue I have ever had is smug jerks on the internet lacking empathy. Saying like the stuff above instead hey I think you ment their vs they are and moving on with the conversation. Instead of the sad need to look superior like they are the god keepers of the language.

gotcha. I used to do very well with this stuff. However, as I get older, and my numerous neurological problems get worse, I find my typing, use of homonyms, etc. is in decay.

Yeah that shit is scary, because it seems so random in who, and how, it will happen
