Who is annoyed when?

Question

Who is annoyed when people on yahoo answers mock Dyslexia and Dyslexia people in their anwsers.

E.G sorry about my touch of dyslexia, when they have poor spelling.

Or writing that Dyslexia people are stupid etc.

Or leave an answer that is purposely miss-spelled saying thats dyslexia, like this "roseey aobut ym ysdlxeia"

Etc. Etc.

Or even being so un-informed about dyslexia, that when they answer questions about dyslexia there answer is insulting where there information is so incorrect, or out extremely out-dated, and wrong.

As someone who has Dyslexia it hurts and annoys me to see that people are so ignorant about Dyslexia, and think that it is acceptable to mock dyslexia and dyslexia people.

I believe this is nearly the modern equivalent of calling someone a r****d or worse, who has Down Syndrome.

Answer 1

i dont have any of these conditions. but i want you to know that not everyone's an A-hole and i would never do anything like that.

Answer 2

It annoys me greatly!  I taught LD students for 20+ years & comments like that are ignorant and unnaceptable.  Some people have to put others down in order to feel good about themselves.  They're the ones with a real problem.

Answer 3

I'm dyslexic, and it botheer me when other people do that. Use the bloody spell checher if you can't spell, I do! On the other hand, people have mocked me for mixing up words and such, and so, when I finish a post, if I think there might be something wrong with it, I'll right: "sorry about the spelling, I'm dyslexic" this is good for two reasons. The first is that peopel won't tease me about it, the second is that most people will ocrrect you if you are wrong, or tell you if you are rite when you do this. It really bugs me when people who don't know anything about dyslexia answer question on it. It's giving false information, generaly inteded to mock people. But giving false information bothers me for any question, not just those on dyslexia. Problem is, most people just don't understand what dyslexia really is. I have provided a link so people can learn about it, should it interest them.

Answer 4

Yeah, I get annoyed when they make comments like that. I realize they don't mean any harm (for the most part) when they pretend it's cute to say something about dyslexia or someone being "g*y" or "retarded". Especially when they're not implying the person is a homosexual or mentally challenged.  Sometimes I still have to get onto my kids for using phrases like that.

For that matter, I once had a co-worker make a comment in front of a room of other co-workers - "I see we have a blonde in the room" - talking about ME.  Only in this case, he WAS implying I was dumb. He left no doubt, especially when he called my name and asked if I knew I was <quote> a dumb blonde bimbo. <unquote>

I still can't believe he actually said that, and that was 14 years ago.  You just can't tell about what's going through some people's minds ,,,, then there are those like him who open their mouths and let others know exactly what they're thinking.
