I have a strong dislike for bad spelling, punctuation etc. myself. But what you do not know is whether the person is in fact being 'lazy' as you said, or whether they truly have problems (sorry, I do not mean to offend, but I have many dyslexic friends). How incredibly wrong of you to presume th

You are always ready with "excuses", but here the word "lazy" should be understood as "careless". Some dyslexie patients are very careful when writing, their main problem is speech (see Mr.G.W.B. !).
