Amusing stuff (though not for the sufferers, obviously). Anyone remember this episode of South Park?
I've got a golden ticket......I've got a golden twinkle in my eye....
Honestly though, at University I failed the Dyslexic test.
I wiped the free laptop of all the crap it came with and put windows 7 on.
I don't go to ANY of the dyslexic revision classes etc etc and I finished 2nd year engineering with a 1st.
Whilst Tourettes is a real illness, I feel it is one blown out of proportion by the namby pamby 'ohh look I'm a Psycologist', lets waste tax money people.
Oh and the how-to-use-your-crappy-talk-and-write programs on the laptop cost £200-300 per 3 hours or something along those lines.
Tbh if a child starts shouting stuff, smack 'em round the head and they will soon STFU.
When I say to people Dyslexia is BS, I am just average at English but good at maths and sciences, they say 'you don't understand', well I am one of them and it is a load of rubbish.
There will be a fancy word for me not winning a marathon and being chubby I am sure
.
Of course this is just my opinion and experience.
Yes this is a Tourettes thread, but in general the world is going crazy with the PC brigade.
