Bit harsh that. It is the easiest thing in the world to make a typo
which might well look like bod spelling. And now that e-mail and
groups such as this are increasingly used as a medium for
communication, those unfortunates who are dyslexic find it difficult
to hide their minor problem.

Richard Branson is dyslexic. Most people would agree that "the boy
done good".

Most people have the odd word that they are "blind" to when it comes to
spelling. I seem to remember passing "The Oxford and Cambridge Use of
English" entrance examination as it was then, but know I have made a few
typos and ocassional(sic) howlers on here in the past. In fact I tend to
proof read my posts but have groaned sometimes when I've realised an error
too late after sending.
I suspect as many people are irritated and put off by the elitism and
snobbery that sometimes surfaces on here ;-)

Ah, I now have an excuse ;-)
