I was always sick and tired of all the ignorant motherfuckers that treated westy as if he was less intelligent (because one had to be mentally challenged to not get what he was saying), but burdturgler's recent douchbaggery finally sent me over the edge.

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Tuesday, February 17th, 2009 6:01am PST - promote requested by kronosposeidon.

I may be wrong, but if westy was dyslexic he wouldn't spell words sometimes perfectly and sometimes not. If you look at his commenting it seems clear it's parody

^ It's hard to tell. My spelling is pretty terrible, but Firefox takes care of that most of the time. /shrug

I decline to vote either way on this video, since I think you for whatever reason are being blind to evidence, perhaps because know someone that is dyslexic and gets mal-treatment unjustly or something, but I think you over look the fact that even people with dyslexica can act and sound like douchebags/idiots/nobs/insert insult here.

On westy, yes he spells funny, but I never considered it to be much of an issue.

*lies its quite clearly a made up disorder.

"The sooner (dyslexia] is consigned to the same dustbin of history the better,"
wrote the Labour back-bencher in his online column for the Manchester Confidential website.

Invocations (lies) cannot be called by westy because westy is not privileged - sorry.

Its pretty clear that westy does not have dyslexia. Some days he types with his hands, and some days he types with his face.

... I think most sifters just don't presume to chalk up Westy's writing style as a disability.

Some of us would even classify it as "Gonzo" - irrelevant of dyslexia.

From now on I shall type with my elbows:

I found this realy intresting initaly as enjoy things that question reality ore percived reality wheather it be fiction ore non. the problem this "documentary" has is it is presented as if it is tied into a scientifick understanding of things.

blah blah blah

oh and dont get me wrong evan though i think this is encredably unlikly in the terms of this documentry i still have a open minde to simuler sorts of things as thair are manny quantum things to be descoverd and scintifcly understood.

right im done perfect example of why dislexsicks shud use a spell checker !


I also can't believe how some think he'd write a 1000+ comments being consistent with the abnormal writing style and then sometimes "forget" to keep up the appearances. come on, people.

Some people are really bad at reading/writing/spelling - it doesn't automatically mean that they are dyslexic. Many don't care at all how their words are written, relying on txtspeak.

While westy may well be dyslexic and I in no way condone insulting people based on that I find aggressive comments like the title of this sift to be needlessly inflammatory.

Good point Violetriga. I actually regret upvoting this vid since it's quite short and doesn't contain much information on a subject as complex as dyslexia.

eht eltit si "aixelsyd-esuaceb sretfis t'nod gnikc*f wonk tahw ti si" rof esoht fo uoy taht evah ti.

Has westy claimed he is dyslexic? I'm not aware that he has, but then I don't read every single comment posted on the sift.

But yeah, pretty shitty video as far as explaining dyslexia is concerned.

I'm Dyslexic, what's the big deal, you get on with life, you use spell check, I'm more visual, florescent lights and low monitor refresh rates give me a headache, I avoid both, I write run on sentences ...so what, read James Joyce....sigh.

Facepalm.

The most robust spell checker in the world would break down and cry when faced with one of westy's comments. No offense, but it may be time to get some voice recognition going on. I know that it sucks some times, but damn, its got to be better than the alternative.

I was going through EDD's queue and voting up his vids and came across this one, which I hadn't noticed before.
For the record, I'm not some douchebag who picks on the handicapped. I said what I said because of the content of Westy's post, not because of how he spelled anything. OK? Going back to upvote vids now.
