I found it easier than if it was correct.

The thing is that people find is special to be able to read it despite being part of a majority.

Well it made me feel special reading has never been a strength of mine, impressed my granddaughter at grandparents day at school.

Iain M Banks did a whole book like that , I think it was called Fearsom Injun (the spilling mistooks being deliberate)

Oh, wasnāt it correct?
I wonder whether that phenomenon is why autocorrect and I often make mistakes in Whatsapp posts. I read it through quickly before pressing send and often donāt notice the obvious errors.
Same here, that speed plus auto correct combined with a poor skill levels of spelling/reading makes for a lot of edits.
When my granddaughter showed me that paragraph I not only could read it quickly I could see it clearly as well. Donāt know if itās helped by my dyslexia or not. Often when driving and Iām giving Mrs Pete directions if I say left she instantly asked if my left or your left.

Being able to read those paragraphs may be hereditary as everyone in my family can.

I was thinking but at this stage itāll just stay a thought. Once Iāve moved into my new place Iāll see how it and all my stuff fits in.
Iāve made no secret of my desire or preference for a 3 box setup.

Started plumbing work for the sewage, Iām still aiming for winter (June) for our place but the gallery level probably wonāt be finished till spring (October). However I havenāt got my construction certificate which means technically I canāt start but that hasnāt stopped us from getting it ready. It helps that they are over an hour away and donāt come this side of the Pacific Hwy.
I didnāt realise how time consuming building would be, council has been a nightmare.

Weāve had a fire the last two nights, all day yesterday actually when it never got over 14Ā°C. I thought (hoped) we had the worst of the bad year (more now) of rain and storms, but alas, no it seems.
Actually, since returning from the Sunshine Coast we have had a few discussions about where else we might try living after the mothers have had their time and we no longer have ties where where we live now. Iāve always loved NZ, but it has certainly slipped behind many places now for various reasons.
