For your information, Janet, dyslexia is not a disease, and it does not
affect my judgement. Mine is a reading and writing disorder. It does not
make me "thick" or uneducated, I just have to try harder to understand
the written word. My IQ is not an issue here as much as your delusions of
grandeur. Patting me on the head would only result in a verbal, but
polite volley from me, and possibly an allegation of assault.. Then it
would be up to the courts to decide who is an imbecile.

For you information, my IQ has been tested many times during my life
because of my dyslexia. average over the years is 124 peaking at 133 when
I was 18 years old.
I can read music, play the piano and a few other stringed instruments,
play Bridge, oh yes! write music. I am dextrous which is essential being
a carpenter and joiner, and my hobby which is restoring post war
motorcycles. My main hobby now is gardening but I find time for all of
the above.
But, of course anyone can say that in a newsgroup. I am being sincere.

Well said Baz.
I wonder if being patronising gits is an illness?

In article Baz writes
play Bridge

responses and bids and what you mean when you say 2 no trumps etc. etc.

You have my admiration Baz!

I was read my dads book which was written by Omar Sharif.
The cliche poker face should read bridge face for obvious reasons, and to
send signals with your bidding to your prospective partner. Reading what is
in your hand and responses is THE biggest skill to learn. And cannot be
learned from books, just playing and playing, losing and losing, then
winning a few tricks, then a few more. It is not easy and I am not an
expert, just novice-improver.
Oh, and don't be lead on by someone who you think has a good hand but wants
you to over-bid, or lure you. You will most likely find that the player
knows who the partner is.

Sort of 'on-topic' when it was really wet one weekend and I couldn't
garden i went up two days running to the Andrew Robson bridge school in
London and did his beginners in a weekend course. Very demanding but
that and learning Latin plant names will, i hope stave off dementia for
a few more weeks.............

You seem pretty verbose for someone with dyslexia. :-)
I would never have realised.

Yes, when you were drowning kittens and kicking pensioners windows in I was
looking to better myself by getting some software and helping myself.
There are many things that you would never have realised.
Is this verbose enough, you clever shit?

Good man! One of my girls is dyslexic, and she's just submitted her
Ph.D. dissertation in one of the top departments for her subject. I'm
not dyslexic, but she's got a lot more drive than I've ever had.

Very well done that girl. She has probably had to work harder than others
with/on her dyslexia than on the dissertation its self. Dyslexic people
have to have that bit of extra drive to keep up with the non dyslexic
world.
I know that when I was an apprentice, and thank goodness for a good boss, I
struggled badly with the theory at Tech.Col. and had to be put back a year
despite burning the midnight oil. Shameful and embarassing at the time.
Computers were not heard of then so no script readers or spell checkers, no
talking books. Just a book set to try and make sense of. That was just for
an ONC, so getting a Ph.D even with a bit of technology is astounding.

Best wishes and regards to your daughter.
Baz

Best to you too.(nearly forgot)

If dyslexia is noticed early on and properly dealt with, there is no
reason at all it should be any sort of problem in future. However
anyone who is still having problems in adult life, suggests it wasnt
noticed in childhood, and will be very much more difficult to deal
with.

The general perception of dyslexia is similar to that held by Janet,
but ignorance and intolerance of anyone or anything that might differ
from the accepted norm, is so common nowadays its not really worthy of
mention.
