Nah jay my spelling, grammar is pretty poor but has got better through the years. But still if I have to sit down and write anything formal it is a struggle.
But dyslexics have better spacial awareness apparently.

Thats not to say give up trying to better yourself people will always pick up on it and even after 30 odd years of getting pulled up and actively avoiding having to write. I feel ****e when someone takes the piss when they read something of mine. They haven't a clue how many hours I spent doing remedial classes or the fact that I very nearly didn't go to uni because I failed 'o' grade english. Bit strange when I had 10 'o' grades, 5 highers and a SYS in physics.

Its always strange its very none PC to take the piss out of someone who is poor at Maths and arith. Have to start taking the piss when the none spelling challanged FO's have to get a calculator out to convert kg's to ltr's for fuel.

And whats more important on an aircraft being able to spell performance or being able to spot a mistake in the load sheet.
