Moo Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 House prices here just do not drop becuase it is such a sort after area Interesting logic at work here. On one hand he's worried sick that the potential sale value of his new flat is going to fall, and on the other he's convinced that prices won't fall in his area. Does not compute. Fzzzzzt... ding!

adren Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 I am dyslexic, had so much grief at school but once I finally could read and write I was OkI knew what was meant and so did you Dont take the p*ss Incientally Edison and Einstein were dyslexic also. Fsck me fella who rattled your cage? You might want to be careful about broadcasting that dyslexia thing. Some people might get the wrong idea. http://www.crimetimes.org/99d/w99dp1.htm Dyslexia linked to increased psychological impairment in prisoners Dyslexia occurs at a high rate among criminals, and a new Swedish study suggests that dyslexic prison inmates are more impaired behaviorally than other inmates. J. Jensen and colleagues studied 63 prison inmates between the ages of 19 and 57. They found that 26, or 41 percent, were dyslexic. "As expected, the dyslexic group performed more poorly on verbal tests as compared to the normal readers among the prison inmates," the researchers say, "but they also performed more poorly on tests measuring nonverbal abilities." In addition, they say, prisoners with dyslexia had higher rates of paranoid and avoidant personality disorders, exhibited higher levels of anxiety and suspicion, and evidenced "a lower degree of socialization." While the rate of dyslexia among Jensen et al.'s sample of prisoners seems high, other recent studies have revealed even higher rates. A 1998 study in Britain found that more than half of 150 prison inmates showed signs of dyslexia, and a 1995 study in Pu uerto Rico identified 78% of a group of juvenile delinquents as dyslexic.

stew Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 (edited) Not knowing when to use 'sort' or 'sought' has got nothing to do with being dyslexic.... The man is right you know. Edited October 31, 2007 by stew Quote
Guest Skint Academic Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Barnstaple has been earmarked to become another university city in <5 years time and the new bridge has eased congestion from the town so that will help the area as well in the short term. Ye gods! Barnstaple a university town? Nice as the place, it's not that big and we need fewer universities not more. Having more universities is like having more TV channels. There's more competition and the quality is cheapened. Besides which, even if it has been ear-marked to be given a university I am not sure that it ever will. There's been talk for years of Inverness been given it's own university. Quote

youthoftoday Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Not knowing when to use 'sort' or 'sought' has got nothing to do with being dyslexic. I bet a dyslexic German wouldn't make that kind of mistake. So true. It really annoys me that people claim they're dyslexic whereas in fact they just couldn't be arsed to read anything. When I was a lad I read books and newspapers and played games that usually had extremely complex rules to master before being able to play. Apart from the odd typo I can spell pretty well. If you read a lot then you absorb the knowledge of how to spell automatically. Kids today don't read much, watch far too much TV and spend large amounts of time on the Xbox etc. Combine this with idiotic teaching of reading in our primary schools and no wonder most people under 30 are functionally illiterate.

Sour Mash Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 I am dyslexic, had so much grief at school but once I finally could read and write I was OkI knew what was meant and so did you Dont take the p*ss Incientally Edison and Einstein were dyslexic also. Mixing 'sort' with 'sought' is not dyslexia, just evidence of a poor grasp of the use of English. It's the same sort of mistake as saying 'could of, should of, would of' etc. which is incredibly common on internet forums these days. I don't know about everyone else but I tend to judge the intelligence and knowledgeability of contributors to a forum by the standard of their writing. HPC is definitely one of the better forums on this front. Everyone makes typos of course and the odd slip but judging by the overall standard of their writing, the contributors here seem to be more intelligent and articulate than those on the average forum. Displaying a good standard of writing certainly adds weight to an opinion. Quote
