why is dyslexic English not a slandered form of English ?

Darkshore:
I think this was really just a place for Cen to vent about getting badgered about her spelling errors. I doubt she was expecting the world to start publishing dyslexic print novels :P.

cenwolfgirl:
do you know how much easer edditing would be if i was aloud to publish my work in dyslexic english
oh my that would just make life way too easy for me
and the univers would just implode if people where that fair
i would love that but its not going to happen because life is never fair :(

Icecream:
oh no, i was'nt trying to say anyone should, and sorry if the science quip offended, it's just me trying to make fun of myself i'm a science student and , well my notes and spelling can be atrocious because i'm lazy, and without a disability in terms of reading that is the not so socially acceptable thing.

I was just following my train of thought, because cen started talking about UK and US english, my mind just jumped how like with Harry potter, there's US and UK versions , and certain words have to be changed, and that is how the two different languages are expressed

but i think i get it now, yeah people can be looked down on if they spell very poorly, but when you know the person has dyslexia it's ok, it's not a reflection on intelligence or anything, it's got nothing to do with it, and i can read and understand what you're typing anyway.

heh, sorry. it's 3:00 am and I'm not thinking properly, damn i wish i could sleep. :)

note: I was trying to get at how dyslexic works should get printed if the author wishes it so, I suppose it did'nt come through.

cenwolfgirl:
oh i see yeah
i think books should be published in the virtion of english the aurther choices or writes naturaly in
witch means as most people can read dyslexic english it should be socaly exseptibal for me to write in it and not have to worry or appoligies for my spelling all the time

also people should not jump to conclutions about the persons lazyness or intelagence when they see some ones poor spelling
they should just get over it is non of their business if some one spells words one way or the other
otherwise it would be exseptibal to complain about UK englih exsesive use of the letter u or something but if you do that most UK english writers / speakers would have a go at the person making fun of the exsesive use of Us
as it is not aloud to do that (because us exsesive letter u users will get groumpy) it should not be aloud to have a go at poor spellers ? is it not rely the same princerple?

Hello, my name is Wat and I am also dyslexic.

Yet I disagree. I have trained my brain, and work very hard to do so, to read standered English very well. I am afraid that if we ever go through with the 'write however you want' concept people will become confused and literary anarchy will ensue.

The structure of English, such as it is, gives people like me a starting point to grasp the whole. Take that away and how can one even begin to understand what is written.

I find reading anything other then properly grammatical and spelled books/anything extremely difficult.
