I used to go out with a girl that was dyslexic. She could read fine,  
but she could make odd-looking mistakes when writing. Oh, and she  
couldn't understand the difference between left and right. Seriously,  
if you said 'go down the road, take a left' there'd be a 50-50 that  
she'd go the wrong way. She got a grant for a computer when she was  
at college due to her writing, and with that no-one ever knew she was  
dyslexic.
