That made me laugh, thanks for pointing that out [:D]
Did I ever mention that I rely heavily on the spell checker because of my dyslexia, and it often throws out the wrong words for me?
If it starts, and ends with the right letter that's usually good enough for me, because everything in-between is just a muddle.

This is what my writing looks like before it goes through the spell checker.

Aoccdrnig to a rseearch taem at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae.
The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

[&o]Oh no. I feel terrible now. Sorry. I thought you had just made a mistake such as we all make. And I took cruel advantage.... Still. I don't have dyslexia and my spelling is appalling. I blame the ITA system of learning to read - where we learnt via a phonetic system, and then had to re-learn correct spelling at some point, which I never managed. And typing things very fast - that messes up words for me.

And I've seen those things, yes, on FB a lot - jumbled up words that I can read very easily (like your sample above) BUT, apparently not everyone can read those jumbled up words. Only some.

I shall rib thee no more. At least, not for that reason.....
