You still haven't considered using a spell-checker, even though you
use a news client with one built in? Perhaps you need a better
keyboard?

I'll try it out. Since you're dyslexic. Normal readers can read
English text with just the initial and terminal letters right and the
rest jumbled, at similar speed to normal text.
I will not speculate about why you seem to be unaware that calling
someone dyslexic is insulting, both to the person you're addressing and
to people with dyslexia.
You need to stop making disparaging personal comments.
I think Malcolm is truly unaware of how these kinds of comments could be taken.
To be clear here, I did mention in another post that I am dyslexic. So he was not saying it out of the blue.
However, it does not seem that he has a very good idea of what dyslexia, in all its forms and variations, actually is. My dyslexia does not affect my reading at all (as far as any measurements have ever shown), but it affects my spelling quite a lot. (It has other effects too, but we don't need to cover everything here.)
(Malcolm's comment about "normal readers" reading jumbled text has a grain of truth to it, but not much more than a grain.)
