Thank you Ted you're making me blush. The really embarrassing thing is that there are about 20 errors in it mainly of a grammatical nature. So hopefully tomorrow the amended version will be posted to replace what is there which itself is a corrected version!

My problem is that I am quite dyslexic & when I read something I have written with errors, the brain software bypasses what my eyes see & superimposes what it thinks should be there.

The way to weed out the errors is to print out something & read it the next day or read out aloud what I see on the screen. That forces the brain to connect to the eyes rather than to my memory.

"This is the the sought of think I right & not everywon nose watt I meen to to saw"

It's not always quite as bad as that but you get the idea. It slows up any writing as even a simple post like this will have been corrected many times
