Hi,
Roger Merchberge said:
Dyslexia. There are a lot more kinds of it than just
writing your letters
backwards (my type) -- I have two friends that *just can't spell*, and my
wife is LD in math; she can't handle decimals or fractions! Oh, guess who
has the most college degrees of the 4 people I just mentioned: my wife.
I suffer from a similar problem, I've never been able to do arithmetic in
my head with any degree of certainty of getting the correct result. Also
I have problems counting money, so what did I end up doing for a living?
Wages :-) (But that was all computerised...and we weren't allowed to
handle actual money!) I can juggle complex maths equations with no
problem though...I just need a calculator to handle the actual numbers.
Some people's brains are just plain *wired funny*
That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it :-)
