Not necessarily. There are several forms of mild dyslexia in which the
person swaps letters or even "fingers" (typing an "o" instead of an
"a," for example).
Dyslexia is a _learning_ disability. Further, there is a body of
research about how to _learn_ to overcome it. Please have coherent
foundation before proceeding in the discussion.
I think we have to calm down here.
I doubt that you should inject your guesses about the moods of others.
The discussion is not about how people should live there life.
No one proposed that it were. Rather, from the outset, it has been
about whether users of LyX should all have a word-processor that will
relieve some of its users of the costs of learning not to misspell
some words _consistently_. (The development of such a facility would
entail costs, and every user would subsequently have that much more
code stored on his or her device.)
The person who proposed the feature did not properly recognize the
nature of the need that he were seeking to have met, and so a debate
has ensued over whether some skills were learned.
It is about a proposed feature. FWIW, I
do some of these typos, but I am not sure that I'd like a program to
second guess me.
The feature as proposed would not second-guess anyone, as the idea was
for the user to assemble a list of substitutions. And one of my
points is that the typical user, in the act of assembling such a list,
would by learning render it redundant.
A feature that actually second-guessed users would be intolerable for
most or all of the Linux/BSD group, though it might be embraced by a
share of Windows and Mac folk.
