It's both ironic and funny that someone thought it was a good idea to put an S in the middle of the word LISP.

irony is a form of humor, a fact people seem to miss. People often use the word when they are annoyed, as in, "I find it ironic you...." - they really don't find humor in the situation.

I am surprised there is not a thread devoted to the three "trespassers" at Great Mills High School yesterday. Quotes are there because as of now the only thing they are charged with is trespassing. I'm sure three twentysomething males from Mitchellville were in the school for more than a bathroom break.

I hate when Red Box sends me an email saying a movie I want to see is in and none of the boxes within a 10 mile radius of my house has it.

Leonardo da Vinci was dyslexic, and often wrote backwards.

"Dyslexia is a learning disorder characterized by difficulty reading due to problems identifying speech sounds and learning how they relate to letters and words. Also called specific reading disability, dyslexia is a common learning disability in children.

Dyslexia occurs in children with normal vision and intelligence. Sometimes dyslexia goes undiagnosed for years and isn't recognized until adulthood.

There's no cure for dyslexia. It's a lifelong condition caused by inherited traits that affect how your brain works. However, most children with dyslexia can succeed in school with tutoring or a specialized education program. Emotional support also plays an important role."

"Dysgraphia affects a person’s handwriting ability and fine motor skills.

A person with this specific learning disability may have problems including illegible handwriting, inconsistent spacing, poor spatial planning on paper, poor spelling, and difficulty composing writing as well as thinking and writing at the same time."


Writing backwards is a form of encryption but is not attributed to the disorder.
