For the record I was born here in the US. i do consider English to be my primary language though I can get by in Korean. Growing up I was identified with dsylexia, and 1/2 a dozen other learning disablities. Which put me in 'special classes' up until i graduated high school (on a fourth grade reading and comperhension level.) I did not learn to read (and understand what I read till much later with the use of comic books.) I have to 'picture' what it is I am reading and comperhend it that way. The schools at the time focoused only on the mechanics of reading, which meant nothing to me. I would focous on letters and pronounciation so much the content was lost.
My wife always thought I had (ass burgers.)
, and I thought she was full of it till she made me watch the Temple Granden story. I am not socially handicapped, but I do see and process information in the sameway it was dipicted in that movie.
(to the exclusion of everything else.) I work in a techinacally heavy industry and this gift has really helped me to accel well above and beyond any one else. From a min wage mechanic's helper, to Master tech, to Department head, to Branch manager, to Business owner,(at 26 years old) To Franchize owner, to New Product development, and National technician tranning, to a partner as a master distributor for all of North America for the product I started selling just 3&1/2 years ago.
That said, the primary reason I do not spell check (anymore) is because we are told not to provoke our children/students to wrath. If I took your most deeply held beliefs and showed you the flaws in your understanding and left you no outs, then provoking you all to wrath would be exactly what I would be doing. (My first few weeks here is a testament to that.) So long as you can see you are still better than me in some way that is important to you, you can still feel like your comming out on top. Even if you are made to leave you religious arguement. (A good example could be found in post 59 and 60.) So why fabericate a flaw when I have one built in?
The second reason was when I was spell checking and grammar checking I was spending as much time proofing what was written as I had spent writting it. Which cuts down on the amount of posts I could respond to. In the end I thought the only one being served here by my 'proofing' was my own pride. For the message I am bringing is still being understood for the most part even though many complain or rather have something to complain about..
