From the time I was in the third grade I realized that I often inverted letters and numbers in sentences. Some words give me far more trouble than others and since auto correct my life has gotten 10x better. So getting letters backwards or out of place actually has to be almost deliberate now. I still type them messed up but auto correct fixes it of course or usually fixes it. The bad thing about being dyslexic is that far too often my desire and love for coding has been delayed or even stalled completely as most programs do not have an auto correct feature. When I was younger perhaps I could have corrected it with some care and compassion but far too often I simply got a lot of red marks on my papers and homework.
Calling A Website http:// In Coding Is Important.
If for instance I'm trying to call a website URL I'm typically royally screwed unless I "Control V" the url. If I'm simply trying to reference another file to call to run a function far too often this is a wreck. Doing a simple command like "Hello Wordl" gets me like every single time. No matter how hard I try to spell things correctly I fail miserably. Perhaps we should create a MisSpelling Bee Championship! - Winner in this championship I might be, because rarely can I type hptt:// without needing to fix it twice. Oh to be a winner, wouldn't it be nice.
One Reason I Love Markdown So Much
With HTML you would need to spell the words that would apply the style to the words....It would look something like this....>Bodl>"Make This Crap Bold Man!">bold>" or Make This Carp Bold Man! With mark down I don't make the same mistakes with the syntax that I used do quite often....Instead of needing to type Bodl I can just type Bodl and it makes it Bold. So two Asterisks on each side of a word or words make it BOLD. The only think I Must remember is that spaces do not help you..** Bodl ** It just doesn't work.
I still love Note++
Maybe I'm just old but I enjoy manually coding a page and then adding all of the parts together. So slow and old and not productive for large projects I get it. But for all of the little stuff it works great. When I need to build an HTML front page I like using Note++. If I need to edit CSS then guess what Note ++ works great for that too. When I want to create some strange file extension I can create in Note++ and save as the file type or add my own extension. I'm so old and you probably have never heard of note++ but it works well for php also.
Dyslexic Coder Oh This Again
I simply wanted to see how many people struggle sometimes with dyslexic typing and how many people are thankful for auto correct and computer programs in general that help us function in society without most people ever even noticing we have an issue. Additionally I figure most people will see the Headline and think, "Dyslexic Coder Oh Shit Again." If this is you then you probably do not suffer from dyslexia just seeing what you want to see...Hahaha Which Way Do These Go Again....<><>>><>>><<>>><>>>Who Knows?
Thanks for reading my crazy post and hope you got a laugh if nothing else. Thanks for the up votes and the comments.
