Forget for one moment any of the past threads and anything to do with Stampy. Im talking in general here .....
I`ve had several young school leavers train along side me in my job. Of four trainees, only one could read and write to any standard. Im not talking about reciting Shakespeare here, just basic stuff. These lads were 18 years old plus school leavers. What the feck have they been doing for the past 15 years or so ?
Now, is it just me or does anyone else get bored of listening to people play the Dyslexic card? I dont doubt for one second that some folk far less fortunate than myself are afflicted with this condition. However, it does feel a little like many use it as an excuse for being a little lacking in grey matter or social skills in general.
Lets say for arguments sake that 1 in 20 are genuinely affected to some degree - i dont know, why is it everyone whos lacking in some way tags themselves with it as an excuse ? it drives me mad.
As i am told and understand it, it means that if affects your ability to read and write. Fair enough. That excuses the layout and spelling. What medical term can you come up with to excuse the content ( or lack of ) and timing ?
I am less tolerant than some on here, i know that. This isnt aimed at any idividual or Oopler, im taking of society in general.
