I am, perhaps, one of those lucky people to whom spelling comes very easily and I admit to being amazed at the poor standards of spelling, grammar and punctuation of young people in Britain today. The education in English language that I received in the 1940's and 1950's must have been far superior than today's equivalent. Good spelling in English is a discipline of the 'mind' and like all disciplines requires a lot of practise, study and memorisation. I have the feeling that if you haven't mastered this before the age of eleven, then you will never get to grips with it. Don't give up trying though, and remember, you always have the computer 'Spell-check' to guide you. English is a 'pig' of a language for spelling and pronunciation, so you need discipline.
Best wishes.

First, let me state, that the following is just my opinion.
So let me begin with:
That's nice but we have a check spelling feature on the answer part of Q/A and what we are objecting to is the fact that so few people take the time or the inclination to use it. And as far as your pitiful story about how life has dealt you a rotten hand, let me assure you, you are not in that Lifeboat alone. Some of us have had a hard time in life the same as you & some even worse. But I think that using such a "poor me" attitude out here may get you, a lot of sacastic remarks. I don't mean to rain on your parade, but you are not the "only" person out here, who has had to learn things the hard way.
My Mother always said, Tex does not play well with others and that is probably true. And my biggest pet peeve is folks who say they are not looking for sympathy, but in case you were...You can find it in the Dictionary between "$-h-i-t" and Syphillis.
I have been a one handed typist for more years than I can to remember, but I have learned that the more you type the faster you get and there is still that wonderful little feature on here called"Check Spelling" and it is there for a purpose.
I am going to expect more thumbs-down on this answer than you can shake a stick at & it will probably get deleted, but this is only my opinion and like most people's opinions, you should just consider the source and or take it with a grain of salt.
You have now had my 2 cents worth.

I thought long and hard before posting this answer.

You say you don't want sympathy, so I won't give you any. Equally, I'm not going to take the piss.

Actually, your spelling's not too bad. What makes this question (and others like it) so hard to read is the fact that there's virtually no punctuation - we can't tell where one sentence ends and the next one begins. So people just give up and move on to the next question.

So....a word of advice - use full-stops and commas. That takes a lot less effort than constantly looking words up n a dictionary. Then, you can start working on your spelling, which, I repeat, is not that bad.

could be you're able to watch "The Wright Stuff" fairly? Jeremy Kyle likes getting unhappy circumstances and sob memories from council estates and putting them on his tutor like a zoo demonstrate. do no longer blame him for poking relaxing at them. They don't have agreed to look on ITV. i'm sorry you're dyslexic, yet Kyle will do something to get intense viewing figures interior the morning.

should be I not i

should be rotten not rotton

should be copied not copyed

should be i'm not im

should be embarrassed not embrassed

should be surprised not surpized

should be don't not dont

should be taking not takeing

I myself am Dyslexic but I just have to try that little bit harder, plus there are spell checks, also it is never to late to learn as I am learning thai now and funny enough I am finding it easier than English lol.

i am sooo sorry about your condition. i would like to say that i am not one to make fun of someone's spelling mistakes. i myself make a lot of grammar and spelling mistakes. i once was asking a question about blondes and i made a BIG grammar mistake. everyperson that left an answer pointed out my mistake.

Don't worry about it, some people on here have not got nothing else better to do than fault people on their spelling. It has happened to me also. Take no notice...By the way, you will get better on your typing skills the more you go on your computer.
Good luck...
