hi guys i find emails difficult sometime when i email escorts about a booking and services i can,t express myself in way i like on a phone . because i am dyslexic some escort prefer email at first contact i find sometime with this method there is a misunderstanding and communication problem .thanks linford
Okay... three things to remember to make you emails more readable...

Only three...
  • Capital letter at the start of the sentence.
  • Names have a capital letter too and "I" counts as a name.
  • You want to put the full stop after the last word without a space... the space goes after the full stop.

So....

It's still not perfect, but it is a million times better, just by remembering those three simple rules. There are lots of other rules, of course, but you seem to be doing okay and if you can just remember those three, it will be a whole lot better.

Also... don't write too much. All we want to know is your name and the date and time you would like to visit. Details are better discussed on the phone.
Really the easiest thing to do is:

1) if the escort says she wants an email first then you email no question
2) When you email say "I find writing difficult so please understand that. I am more comfortable speaking on the phone but I am emailing as your profile requested.

I wouldn't get hung up on capital letters or anything like that, the majority of our emails are sent in "cave man" speak anyway.
I really would not worry about it, your grammar is similar to the majority of emails I recieve so you don't stand out. Infact, at least you have an excuse lol

I would mention in the email that you suffer with this.

good luck.
most of my e-mails are from lazy illiterate fucks (hey bb howz u (yuk)), however if they said sorry I have dyslexia then that would of course me forgiven!!

I don't actually think a genuine person with dyslexia would write such a message. Most dyslexics I know of would make a lot more effort, and can actually string words together. It doesn't render them illiterate,stupid, lazy or rude.
Time to declare my hand... I am dyslexic.

I find reading and writing very difficult, slow and tiring.

I can't spell, but I have installed a spell checker plug-in to firefox.

I do understand grammar (although I am lazy with it!) but I have to re-read all my post several times before pressing the submit button to try and make sure that it all makes sense.

I can type far more quickly and easily than I can write, especially as I don't have to be too anxious about my spelling.

I often confuse homophones... but I am aware of the ones which most often trip me up and use google to remind myself which ones to use.

Some words I have to look really carefully at and sound them out holding my finger under each letter one at a time so that they stop dancing over the screen.

It's a problem... it makes things other people find easy, difficult... but for most people it's not insurmountable. For some of the most severely affected it can be almost insurmountable, but for most it is not.

Even if you are the worst, there are things like screen readers and speech-to-text tools which are actually very good these days.

And even then I can miss an "s" off a word!

I once proof read for a dyslexic not for long, but long enough to pick up on the things you've just mentioned. He developed and used various techniques to improve his written english.
I get emails that are hard to read but I don't think the guys are dyslexic...I also dislike text speak in chat and sometimes tell them I'm too old for text speak and ask them to write in English. Many guys don't understand when a question mark should be used...they'll add it when it's not a question and not put one when it is, so I will ask them if what they said was a question or a statement, and they don't understand that either.
