Ansiri Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I don't see OP bragging. Some people really do understand words very differently, so we/you need to believe what the writer says he/she meant or didn't mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we understand things differently, and we might correct a misperception when someone credibly clarifies their intentions. But it's also helpful to understand that our intentions might be misperceived, and hone our communication skills so that clarification isn't necessary. There's also the case where nefarious intentions are misperceived as honorable. When that happens, run with it! ;-).

Sounds like my family. I might say something like "I don't like being the smartest person in the room" and someone will respond "I can't believe that's ever happened, you must be thrilled."

Coffee Pancake Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Dyslexia (for myself at least) manifests as misplaced tokens in written or typed sentence structures, the tokens can be whole words, letters, punctuation, emoji or digits. It doesn't affect my actual math skills or the representation of math when constructing formulas etc; Get me to represent a purely mathematical construct in plain English however and all bets are off. I find it weird that it doesn't affect programming either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pointers are too easy to follow. Better use arithmetic on pointers. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
