A friend of ours has dyslexia.
She and her family are often
travelling to different hotels. She
asked her Mum the other day:
“How come every hotel we go to
has this book called ‘Holly’s
Bibble’?”
It was quietly pointed out to her
that it was the ‘Holy Bible’. She
opened the page, saw a picture
of Christ on the cross and
looked up sad. Her Mum asked
her what was wrong and she
responded: “Not looking good
for Jesus Krist!” And then added
that she doesn’t want to be
religious.
The interesting thing about
dyslexics (and who on earth
invented such a word to
describe people who have
difficulty spelling?) is that they
often speak and spell as the
English language should be
spoken and spelt. Maybe we
dyslexics do it the right way
where as the rest of you do it
the wrong way!
Any other good stories out there
with examples of dyslexics
getting it wrong? For instance,
my Mum would always say:
“Two in the bush is better than
one in the hand.”
