    Guess I’m the one in ten.

    Spent a good 30sec staring at the top line wondering wtf the writer was smoking before I read the bottom…

    As a dyslexic person this whole thread made no sense to me and is full of fuckery.

    Would probably work better if the word wasn’t the first in the sentence. Humans probably use the first half of a sentence in their initial assumptions about what it’s likely saying… Probably prioritising the first few the most.

      Same, and I am moderately dyslexic. Enough so that I need to put more effort than normal into writing every word. Shame on everyone who missed it.

      I noticed right away, too. But I’m also a guy who frequently sends emails to people whose blog posts have a typo or obvious editing mistake so they can correct them. There are a few who thank me each time. Others might think I’m the most annoying type of person. I just know I hate when I miss a mistake in my own writing.

      ich you have adhd and asperger or better, you might end up beeing trained by yourself for ignoring google’s, microsoft’s or other f’uped up so called “autocorrection” and ‘automatically’ overlook single mismatching words but recognize the sentence as a whole without actually reading it word by word. some can read entire pages with a single look on it without focusing on a a specific region or i.e. the center while still beeing able to later rephrase the content of the entire page.

      1up for all with special (dis-)Abilities!!

    I called my friend Andy “Amdy” for like two years before he noticed. This meme would work better spoken.
