My first lover was severely dyslexic, he thought that our love was evol.  (actually he really was, but he got with an expert and was able to over come alot of it.)   My Uncle is dyslexic and he made it through Princeton.  We're not all hopeless cases.  My dyslexia happens alot with the dots...is that common?  (the music staves).

It's ok to be dyslexic, 10 out of 3 people are.

My neighbor, that I have been helping a bit with his Parkinson's and meds, also is dyslexic (not sure it is related to Parkinson's), and the way he plays wow, is funny. His left hand is on the arrow keys and his right hand on the keyboard numbers (not keypad), and he is actually getting better at it, and learning to TAB his way through characters and target faster. But he still has issues with his right or left directions, when I take him somewhere or show him something, and I say now take a left ... he doesn't slow down or stop and think ... he moves in a different direction.
 
He has gotten quite a bit better since he has played WoW with me next to him, kinda coaching things some. I don't think he realizes how much he can learn (still) and work with, that he never developed, and in some ways, this helps him with his daily this and that. At 50 something, he's still a "kid", but at least he has found something that helps with mind/hand coordination, that hopefully will get better for him. 
 
I still don't know if he can't think straight, or it is just a habit like thing that the words do not mean anything to him (language was not visual for him!), so he can properly identify left with left and right with right. But I got him thinking ... when I tell him that there is only one right left hand, because the other one is wrong!

Did you hear about the guy who lost his entire left side?
(He's all right now.)

That's another *interesting* book.  *The Lopsided Ape Evolution of the Generative Mind* by Corballis.  Bi-cameralism doesn't only happen in poly ticks.  (uh-oh)

The government and the media has de-evolved most of the masses into unicameralism (and not the listening and thinking chamber).

it's funny.  Before you edited it I thought you wrote something like *in tunic cameralism*.  Ah those were the days.  Inside the beltway really is another planet.  Proxima XYZ.
