is it dyslexia or something else?

Out of curiousity, are you a bad reader as well? Do you confuse words in conversation?
I was recently told that dyslexia is commonly caused by the brain not recognizing phonemes, the sounds of words. So if, you are just struggling with spelling I doubt you would be considered dyslexic.
One train of thought believes that poor spelling is caused by the way our brain takes in the words to be spelled. If you are not able to capture a "mental picture" of the word, it is more difficult to spell. It could be that you don't realize how specific words look. Therefore, when you spell it's by the way the word sounds, not by the way it looks.
I agree with the others, you seem to spell fine.

Going through your two answers and two questions against your name, it seems that you are not a bad speller. I think you deliberately chose to spell 'honestley' incorrectly. You could also spell 'dyslexia' correctly.
I don't know for real if you are a bad speller.

No. You just need to pay attention and make up your mind to be a good speller. Simple really.
