I don't think that people that don't capitalize or punctiate are always dyslexians, most of them are just lazy. MOST people just use dyslexia as a bad excuse because they are too incompotent to type proper sentences.

I think that is right. Dyslexia is just an excuse for people not have to correct their own spelling. I have never heard of a case of Dyslexia that prevented people re-reading their posts and correcting obvious mistakes, and then being urged to make more short, pointless posts in the same way.

I still don't think we should've had negative awards, but maybe next year.

Correct, and people with dyslexia do use capitals and punctuation, they may not use them correctly the whole time, but they do use them.
Also spelling, when someone with dyslexia misspells a word it is usually easy to guess what they mean, as they spell the word like it sounds (missing silent k etc.)
i have at least 2 friends with dyslexia (its kinda hard to tell now), and one was my best mate for 12 years (ish) and when he IMs me he has better english then me...(using capitals mainly...)

Some dyslexians choose to scrap punctuation, because they can't get it right anyhow, or find it too hard or time consuming to think about it. Some are lazy people too. But seeing the differance is not allways too easy.

Can we get detailed stats of how many voted for each? (While still maintaining the anonymity). While I did not vote at all, these people should be protected from revenge by Illegal_Alien and robotboy!

r · **Posted:** Tue Jun 06, 2006 12:28 pm

Here's all the vote results since a few people have been pestering me for it.

A little note, where there's ties for anything I had the casting vote over who should win.

Nice, I even got two votes, and the other people voted for that category are cool people aswell.

I feel even better about that now

Could the person who voted on me as most annoying contact me? I'd like to know why I'm found annoying so I can improve that part.
