Yes mate you are, but only slightly.
That'd be dyslexic.
Funny though, maybe we all have a bit of dyslexia but in your case, your brain is quicker because it does not perceive the anomaly as readily since (as you suggest), your dyslexia is slightly more pronounced.
I just can't help but cringe when I see supposedly learned types getting it wrong.
Maybe I have a bit of ODC !

My bike has tyres, not tires.
Mudguards not fenders.

I don�t mind you guys using our language instead of developing your own, but don�t abuse something you are borrowing.  If we took it back what would you be left with?   Rap?

I'm unable to keyboard the word " normal ".

First I reflexively type " norman ", then I back up and do it properly.
That's the combustion chamber of the turbo shaft. It is supposed to be on fire. You just don't usually see it but the case and fairing fell off.

Do you watch Rake and/or the Doctor Blake Mysteries?  We get a kick out of Blake saying "yaaays" for "yes".   On Rake, I had to explain to my wife that "deekhead" isn't very shocking down under, kinda like "dumbass" here.

Have you tried understanding a Geordie? Newcastle is only ninety miles from here, and I need a translator. See if you can find any episodes or outtakes from “Auf Wiedersehn Pet” online, then come and tell me you could understand more than any three words out of ten.

Not only mis spelled, but also mis pronounced.  Frequently heard , from certain groups, in the UK.
Asked gets turned into  arkskd  .
 However,  going by Judge Judy,as shown over in the EU,  Burglars, in the USA, do not Burgle places, no, they Burglarize them ?  Which is strange, because, nobody in the USA  is  Muggerized , Robberized or Carjackized ??
Or is that the next step ?  With the current wave of feminist accusations, all men will be found guilty of  raperizing or assaulterizing?
Fun, innit ?  :boozing:

Sitting here thinking how much the bar has moved since I began riding motorcycles. Started out with kickstart bikes, and clothes that stunk of oil and gasoline. My friends and I spoke in monosyllabalistic grunts and quaffed copius amounts of cheap booze and white crosses. Filterless smokes, dirty hands, low rent blues and rock tunes in the background. A "Job" consisted of prolonged use of a jackhammer, burning torch, or other implements of torture.  :wink:   :boozing:

Now we discuss grammar, high end yuppie liquor, and the gastronomic qualities of fine quiche. What a long strange trip   :grin:

From the beginning, motorcycling has harbored literate as well as unwashed people ( these are of course not mutually exclusive). I cite among many others TE Lawrence, Pirsig, Dylan, Oliver Sacks, Matthew Crawford.

Yeah brings back memories Shorty. But do you really want to go back to the days where your couch smelled like dog piss and if you weren't first to the shower you got a cold one and the thunderbox (toilet), was outside with newspaper for bum fodder...
Bugger that...
And at least topics like correct use of grammar and proper application of cintacs, mercifully remain encased within threads like this one.
I for one am literally packing my daks at the thought that I may make a mistake in my spelling or grammar, gunna be great when this thread finally goes arse up...
