OK, after posting here and on other boards...I have noticed that I am slow....mentally...and my freinds all know it, but I think that I have found out why.
Since I was a kid, I always lacked attention to reading and writing, and math was never my best subject, I still have to use a few fingers to do simple math, but I also noticed lately that since I am not writing as much by hand, and I do a lot of typing here...I guess I really do have a problem. It does take a full grown man to admit this publically, but maybe I'm admitting because I want help finally. I am tired of typing a post and haveing to read it 10 times to make sure I spelled everything write, or have the grammar correct, or I just don't sound like an idiot when I type. When I type, and I know how to type decently, I've noticed that words are comeing out spelled backwards, like the I before E, and visa versa. I've know that I have a slight dyslexia, and a huge spelling problem, and also ADS or ADDS, which ever it is...and during school I was a high grade student for a while, but when I got glasses, my grades dropped, and they never came up. Looking back at when I was in college, I never got a decent grade in anything like math, physics, and the normal curriculum...but yet, I aced computers, and everything involved with engines and flight. Unfortunately, I failed way to many classes to have a decent GPA, but I also lacked intrest in anything school related.
OK...that paragraph took me over 10 minutes to type, proofread, think about my mistakes, and correct them. Laugh at me as you will, but it was a hard effort to convey what I was trying to say. And I bet there are still a lot of mistakes in it, that I don't realize, or I didn't notice.
So....I'm wondering.....Am I the only one on here like this....
Here's the test....Write a two paragraph statement about something that happened to you during today. And the real test is....no editing. I know a lot of computer guys here can whiz thru this test with no problem, and finish in about 3 minutes. So be honest...and say how long it took you to convey to us your event. I'm just curious to see how everyones REAL typing and communication skills really are.
post your start time, finish time and story.....And no editing
And whats really scary is when I do this test Then you guys well see why I dumb. :sad:
