Yes, you are. How do you know the OP isn't dyslexic?

It's not dyslexia. It's using 'of' instead of 'have' and putting 'a lot' as one word. It really winds me up.

  1. That could be indicative of dyslexia.

  2. Literacy implies your reading of it, silly, as well as their writing of it!

  3. (unfairly) I'm bloody fed up with reading 'the OP could be dyslexic', even though it's true. Even if the OP's badly educated/not very bright, does that make it ok to take the mickey in a thread-about-a-thread?

You didn't really need to tell us/ the OP that you were hiding it.

MrsGangly · 23/01/2011 13:49

I quite agree but reading this blog post helps me...

Winds you up ? seriously ?
'of'
a lot ?

oh dear.
I couldn't care less.
But then I have bad typing and often type thast instead of that etc. and I don't even bother to correct it thesedays.

seaweedhead · 23/01/2011 13:51

YANBU to hide it but you were quite rude to say on the thread that you were hiding it. People usually can't help making mistakes.

compo · 23/01/2011 13:51

Yabu
and bitchy
I was on that thread
the poor op was just asking for advice not snotty answers

Oblomov · 23/01/2011 13:52

Laugh at visitors post.
God its a good job that OP wasn't around in the 'good old Cod days', wasn't it? OP would have had a coronary Wink

JaneS · 23/01/2011 13:53

Can you tell me which thread it is so I can go judge this OP?

Hide what you like - it's not as if the OP is desperate for advice from you personally and no-one else's will do!

Mumcentreplus · 23/01/2011 13:56

lower ya pitch forks ladies!..

JaneS · 23/01/2011 13:56

Oh, but I like being a nest of vipers! Surely the OP isn't a real viper?

TrillianAstra · 23/01/2011 13:57

Yay for the alot! :o
