Doesn't work for me, but my Dutch grammar isn't quite what it ought to be - I failed the Dutch as a Second Language exam on my written Dutch with a score off 499 against a pass mark of 500, after comfortably passing the tests of mmy capacity to read. hear and speak Dutch. And I did have one dyslexic symptom when I was learning to read, in that I'd read "was" as "saw"and vice versa. My parents picked this up very early and gave me extra training every evening for a bit which completely sorted the problem. In fact I spent most of my primary school career bored silly by the reading lessons, where I was couple of years ahead of the rest of the class. And I am left-handed, like one of my two brothers.

I lived there over 6 years and never took any tests. Now about 20 years later it's mostly gone but my Dutch comes back after 2-3 pintjes of Grolsch. However, as with you only the read-hear-speak portions of it. Writing is definitely gone. It's hard to practice out here in the west.

I'll get me coat... BTW and while we're on the topics of bad jokes, I was reading on /. the other day about how some guys at Southampton Uni had made super fast bipolar transistors by doping them with fluorine.

I had a teacher that let me work ahead of the class (this was something like 4th grade), and I remember the thrill of being the first to get to read some BRAND SPANKING NEW "reader" books that hadn't ever been read before. :-) (The "old" books were these thick paperback jobbies that had deep creases in the covers from being used over and over again... *I* got to make the first crease in the new book... :-) ) That was the same school where I was allowed to run the 16mm film projector until one day I accidentally knocked it off the ~4' tall rolling cart it was on, sending it tumbling onto a hard floor and mangling the reel support arms, causing hundreds of dollars in damage. Oops. The high point of the four years I spent in that school was the day some kid threw a plant in a clay-potted plant *through a window*, making the most wonderful crashing noises and breaking the tempered glass into a bazillion pieces. I thought for sure that kid would be in prison for the rest of his life... (This was a relatively conservative school -- I remember more than once going through the routine of everyone being made to line up against the wall and wait indefinitely until someone ratted out who had committed some egregious misdeed, such as stealing an eraser from a classroom...)Article: 107891

My father would have > written left-handed if he'd had the choice. I'm left handed too. I was outraged when my first-grade teacher tried to switch me to righty, and my rage didn't help matters. I started writing right to left, then with "coaching" left to right but with reversed letters, then alternating lines or switching to mirrored letters in the middle of a line or .... I thought I was doing it on purpose, but not really. When she finally relented and let me use my left hand. I was still reversing things inadvertently for another two weeks. I apparently scored a great victory for humanity. I learned years later that I was the last student she tried to switch. I'm only a bit dyslexic (which I didn't realize at the time) but too poorly coordinated to be any good at sports or play a musical instrument with rewarding facility.
