Hi Norm,

Your comment got me thinking - i don't know a lot about dyslexia and
what it means for the way dyslexics operate online.  I was emailing a
dyslexic guy the other week and i inadvertently made it hard for him to
understand me due to the way i quoted and the way i phrased my
questions.  IRC is used very commonly to support Ubuntu, and Free
Software in general.  Would you be willing to explain a little further
how the condition works (especially with respect to email & instant
messaging/chat) and perhaps suggest what steps we could take to support
dyslexic people better?

Thanks,
Paul
