Yeah, with the exception of (REAL cases of) dyslexia and learning difficulties, it probably shows that either you're uneducated, of low intellect or worst of all you are a chav who thinks reading and writing is for mugs and probably donate to the Plain English Campaign.

Obviously there is more to intelligence than intellect, but I despair at the fact that there are an increasing number of people who become angry or indignant at any criticism of their spelling or grammar and how you are labelled a pedant for pointing these things out. To think it is now acceptable for BBC TV presenters to use phrases like "more better than" to say nothing of terrible radio presenters like Chris Moyles.

By the way, did you know that the literacy rate in this country is declining?
