Okay so you want to know the answer?????

Well I am dyslexia so spelling is a big issue, major problem. When I created the account I got confused over if it needed 2 "S" or one. By the time I figured out (asked my wife) the correct answer it was to late so I had to live with it. My log in was already created.

During my life the lack of spelling has casued some funny problems for me, A number of years ago Heinz and I owned a company together and I had to send them a fax. I typed it up on a computer, printed it out and faxed it to the guy.

The sentance that was a issue said
"The load will arrive at your warehouse tomorrow"

The next day I spoke to him and he said "I got the fax but what the hell has *****house got to do with it. Due to my spelling problem I had miss spelt ware house and the spell checker changed it to *****house and I couldn't tell the difference.

The other funny thing was I have a saying that I have used for 30 years and its,
"Sympaphy is in the dictionary between sh-t and suicide",

It was only after 25 years that my wife bothered to tell me that it wasn't, I had lived a lie (Its still a good saying).

Anyway, on the flip side the spelling is the negitive but on the positive I have a brain that thinks differently to everyone else. So I can solve complex problems in my head and that is why I have made my wealth in life.

In short I stuffed it up but does it really matter that much.

Keep well all.
Tony
