Scugog Citizen -- Tubsday February 13,1993 ~ 33 4a Helen has a touch of...what? AIXELSYD mean, dyslexia. For those of you who may not be familiar with this affliction, it just means you sometimes put words or letters backwards. If I really concentrate when I'm writing, or using a cash register, I'm fine, but let my mind wander a tib, I tend to do things sdrawkcab. I have never had it checked out, nor it is it a big deal, but it does come to my attention at times. I guess it may have some- thing to do with being an identi- cal niwt. You usually find one It's true, folks. I seem to have a touch of aixelsyd... oops, | will be definitely right-handed the other very left-handed. In fact, when I learned how to print as a small child, I did what they call 'mirror-writing'. this is true. You actually had to hold my printing up to a mirror to read it. Somewhere along the line, most of the letters and numbers reversed themselves in my brain, but 1 still have a problem with the odd eno. 1 was curious enough that 1 have written more than once to the 'Left-Handed Society for the Pi and Rehabili Dyslexic Identical Twins', but d never kcab from them. My letters 'were always returned. I kept lick- ing the wrong side of the stamp. It does have its advantages at times. Consider, for instance, when I went in to have my driv- er's license rencwed a few years ago. Silly me, I put my age down as 23 instead of 32. Now that I'm (gasp) in my late forties, I make sure | concentrate very, very care- fully on writing the four first. The disadvantages are mini- mal; 1 hardly notice them, although I have to admit it is a bit of a pain in the tub ringing in $5.91 for a greeting card on the cash register at work, when we all know the price is $1.95. Does it bother me? Not at all, although it is something that | suppose will be with me reverof. However, things could be a lot worse. I could be one of those people who keep repeating them- selves, keep repeating them- selves, keep repeating them- WELL BART, DO WE HAVE R DEAL OR 1 Blue Collar Bart Consulting PROJECT MANAGEMENT RESEARCH Durham Colin L.
