I hope this comes across as constructive critism and meant completely only to benefit you. If it doesn't I apologize in advance.

You have made some good points in your previous posts; however; sometimes it is somewhat difficult to understand. When I am writing a paper for school, I use Microsoft word. That program will show you where you have any errors such as grammar, punctuation, and spelling. You can right click on the errors to fix them. Maybe you could use that to initially write your posts then post them on the board.

Not only will that help your writing, it can help you learn to be a better writer. In my classes, I have learned that everyone can improve in this area. It's not just you. I have met you in person and you are very sweet and easy to be around and I am sure you want to show that in your board presence.

I hope this helps.

Haley,

No worries from my side of the dry creek.

We all need to be a bit more understanding of those with reading, writing, and rithmatic problems.

I have spoken with you in person and know that you are a good conversationalist, that you can make clear and rational thoughts with good insights into many issues.

I never really understood how difficult learning disabilities can be until I had a child with mild dyslexia and attention deficit disorder.

I can empathize with the difficulties you face when dealing with adults that may never know the difficulties that more than 15% of our US population faces everyday.

Whenever you post, I ensure that I take my judgemental attitude outside for a brief talking to, and then come back to re-read your post so that I can better understand the person behind the pen so to speak.

The world is not perfect, neither are it's intelligent inhabitants.

But you are perfect just the way you are, so no apologies from you are necessary, but, please accept my apologies for not understanding that we all have impediments, yours are only visible when you write.

Haley, you're a sweetheart...no apology necessary! Dogg you got it right...we all make assumptions and forget that there's a *real* person behind a handle.

[JDNorthface]

Liki is exactly right. Please don't apologize. The phrase "I am trying" in your original post is golden. Anyone wanting to get better at anything has already passed the hardest test! Congratulations! The people on this board, and in life, who believe they know it all are the ass-pains. (Maybe we should start a thread on them...!).

Jezabelle's suggestions are great. Software can be a big help with someone wanting to improve his or her communication skills. There are also plenty of online resources, such as http://owl.english.purdue.edu/ that can help. Keep seeking, you'll find what you need. And of course, we'll be glad to help.

All the best.

I thought my ears were burning. I am guilty of wondering WTF you were trying to say.

Seriously though, I private messaged with you before and you seem like a sweet-heart.

It is great that you are trying to improve your writing. I'm usually horrible at trying to place thought to paper. It helps me to proof-read what I just wrote. The suggestions given to you by the above posters are great.

The best way to improve your writing skills is to write and then write some more. After you are done writing and read it to yourself (make corrections as necessary), pass the message to a friend that you trust to proof-read it. They should make suggestions and give you constructive criticism.

dogleg..i am dyslexis holic and proud of it and Tom Cruz is on my due List with Cher helping me .

Likiniki you are right ....We are real people behind the handle and I rather be real than fake anytime.

Wow I'm an even bigger ass than I thought.
How many times I've verbally hammered
people into exile I have lost count.

It never occurred to me that they were anything
but blithering dummies.
Ouch- I see now it twas I that were the dummy.

Great I'm getting lots of mental replays.
I'm shamed.Xp

Haley, kudos to you for mentioning that which is forbidden for others to mention. I have met you and know you to be intelligent and with absolutely no problem in communicating. Sometimes we are all victims of the slip between the thought and the pen.

[Likinikki]

Haley, it takes a whole lot of *courage* to share your story. I'm very happy you're getting the help you need...hang in there!!

Hi Haley,

My young one is now grown with a young one of his own that we will need to keep an eye on in order to obtain treatment as necessary, if need be. It seems this runs in families.

I also have a cousin now in her fifties, that the family was just at the end of our patience.

She was always considered the proverbial blonde, flighty, smart ass in class and of course did not finish school.

It was not until her late 30's or early 40's that she realized she needed a GED to get out of her then current situation.

She started the adult education classes and one of her instructors knew something was wrong, and suggested a couple of tests.

She had dyslexia. Absolutely could not read.

She was placed into a program and the counselor used color overlays on the paper and all of a sudden the letters came together like magic.

She said it was unbelievable. She has since retrained her mind to be able to 'filter' what she is reading so that now she is a licensed professional in a medical environment.

So big kudos to you baby girl for getting the help you need.

Guys, thanks for stepping up and relating your own short comings.

Not just a horn Dogg

One of the best ways to improve your writing skills is to read as much as possible. Perhaps you should buy a Kindle Fire, select some books you would be interested in, and read when you have free time.

You might be pleasantly surprised how much easier writing is if you are a prolific reader.

Haley,
You and I have also met and you converse much better that your writing. That doesn't make you a bad person. It is understandable that you are not the only one with dyslexia and I applaud you for going for it. Those who judge you simple on your writing skills are surely missing out on the great personality and other skills you have and it's their loss. Lots of good suggestions have been posted and with you're determination, you'll get it. You just keep on speaking your mind however you want to. Keep after it.

Tom Cruise and Cher, that would be interesting!

[foxyred73]

I like all of the suggestion from everyone. Hey a women can only dream Tom Cruz and Cher that have great dyslexia mind on my due list.

i just got started speaking mind.
