Rk, you must have remarkable skills to have overcome it so well that this is the first time it has shown up on the board in all of those posts. congratulations.

Actually, I'm pretty sure rk's mentioned his dyslexia before. Long time ago though, so i am not going to trawl through and locate it.
You're right that it's hard to hide dyslexia, but in fairness since it affects different people differently, it's entirely possible (in my view) that someone could not show up as dyslexic on a board like this. There have been times when rk has made spelling mistakes which absolutely could be due to dyslexia, and often they're repeated mistakes. I can't think of examples but I am pretty sure I spotted some after he first mentioned dyslexia about 8 months ago. I stopped looking after that, so couldn't tell you if they've re-occurred since.
I've known dyslexics who have developed very good coping strategies, such as spell-checking everything before they input it. Not all dyslexics, in my experience, have the same difficulties with sentence structure and sequencing, so I don't see how it would be possible to say with any degree of surety that someone with access to a spell-checker would automatically still show up as dyslexic.
