Why can't anyone spell on these forums?

Poor grammar I can take, but so far today I have seen 'no' instead of 'know', and 'cood' instead of 'could'. I don't want to sound sad - normally I wouldn't care less about this - but it is really starting to bug me. Maybe because I'm older than some people on these forums (well, 18), but the way I see it, even young kids should be able to spell (not thinking of anyone in particular, FOOTBALL GOD).

Does it bother anyone else?

Professor Dominic Dyslexico of Calculus College wrote a paper entitled, "Gobbledegook: When Words Scramble & Run Riot On The Page & Do Ya Head In Big Style" - so that's where the term dyslexia comes from.

No, I'm being serious.
Why the hell call a condition that affects spelling something so hard to spell?

It really seems unfair and mocking

That is becuase the person who found out about it was very clever. so he could spell it and bollix to rest of them.

Why is dyslexia one of the hardest words to spell?

That seems really, really cruel.

I think it's because so many people write properly that when we see a totally bad posts with no grammar or correct spelling, we tend to get annoyed.
