Fearg, At the risk of being accused of this that or the other, I would just like to add my thoughts on this Dislecsia thing.
A blind man carries a white stick, a man with a broken leg has a crutch and others are in wheel-chairs so it is fairly easy to spot these people and make allowances. It is difficult to spot a chap that has had a nervous breaking or depression and it is impossible on these boards to know whether spelling mistakes, bad grammar, poor communication skills have anything to do with dyslexia - indeed it is probably the last thing that comes to mind until someone says that he suffers from dyslexia.
Computerised predictive spelling mistakes are taken as that, my computer has one hell of a job translating from Welsh to Zwahili so I have to proof read and correct visually every word/line.
My wife at the age of 76 is to a certain extent dyslexic, she puts it down to the fact that all her teachers thought she was thick and made no allowances at all, and spent most of their time phaffing around with the clever pupils.
Fearg, I'm sure you are doing a good job, keep up the good work.
