I understand that some dyslexia mistakes may look like text speak and thats fine. But when its full-blown text speak that would probably take longer to
learn' or think of than normal words, then people try and excuse it with "I'm dyslexic leave me alone" thats what i mean by what i said in my previous post.
I just don't think you can really comment on how easy it is to read text speak as a dyslexic unless you are one, or have spent a lot of time talking to people who are. It's not really the non-dyslexics' place to decide what's best for them to understand, is it? Besides, it doesn't cause you actual harm if they type in a way you find annoying.

A lot of allowances are made for people with mental health conditions on this site, and I think learning difficulties need to be given equal consideration. It's about time. I always found the hypocrisy of people saying "normal people are so ignorant" when they'd go on to complain about a badly written post so ridiculous.
