Racetraitor said and either was lying or making something up to prove his point...or has no idea about the difference between a mistake at the level of knowledge and a miscue where the minds fumbles a bit..

I started university at age 37. I was a single dad with 2 young kids & a dead-end blue collar job. Basically I was looking for new stimulation & chose my courses purely on the basis of personal interests. Never really had a plan.

Emerged 5 years later with a BFA double major in Creative Writing & Honors English & an MA in English Lit.

It was a good ride. Thanks UVic!

I know two people with dyslexia.
One, he got a BA a long time ago only to become my country's most influential PR consultant. He couldn't spell. And he couldn't write very well at all. Like having a block alike to when we very first had to use a computer but had to make a powerpoint demo before doing anything else. We had to crunch through it for hours, right? Well, he just couldn't work his way around letters and sentences. It wasn't because he was dim.
The other one was a girlfriend who was brilliant with old British lit. Had a perfect, lovely, natural voice to listen to; Not a pretender when it came to orating about authors and the significance of their stories. Themes and such just naturally rolled through her. But, she couldn't write worth a damn. She needed a writer to follow her dictation for exams and for her essays. When I saw her own printing once I thought a child had written it.
But, she scored A's in the end.

However, I don't believe everyone on this board who doesn't know the difference between there and their has dyslexia. I think it is from a lack of desire to learn exact method. Like looking for shortcuts. Or from too much booze at Alpha Beta Gamma Delta parties.

One of my lecturers was talking about what job opportunities are out there for Anth grads and she said that basically all there is for us to do is head to Asia and teach english.....how sad....nevermind though, I had planned on doing that for some time.

Mine's in sociology and the only reason I did it initially was to avoid the five to ten year plans that many had in going to the state school I attended. But hey, it was an interesting major though most of the courses were not taught all that interestingly.

That said, I finished university two months ahead of my 22nd birthday and well, I'm glad I got it out of the way. Plus, since I attended a state school, I was nowhere near as in debt as others who had attended private colleges were.
