No idea as I can't see the comments only replies that don't make any sense
Can you give me an example of the reply you can see and I'll tell you who the reply is aimed at so you can check.

Maybe not, live and let live, I have a good friend who is dyslectic, so I am not a fan of the grammar police, life is difficult enough for people suffering with that, just wish people where a bit more respectful and thoughtful, being friendly and understanding isn’t costing you anything, it’s free and makes people ‘s life a lot more joyful !
Don't know what you mean

My post just meant you and glen keep arguing about summit

The reply was to the OP of the thread I quoted you about proper use of words and grammar. It then debated how taken pedantically this was offensive to dyslexic people. The OP, glenn2926 later posted on your thread which was picked up by dutch68 who made a comment and others then continued the conversation re dyslexia on your thread.
Let’s get it back to your life please. I was enjoying following that.

I thought I was not very bright never got more than 40% in English exams maths was OK at 90%+.
I've never been tested, even won prizes at primary school for reading, how I don't know.
Often when driving I will read out a sign with the name of a town & wife & kids will say how did you get that from that. Both kids tested for dyslexia both got nice grants for computer equipment when at Uni, & now both teachers so it can't be that bad.

No hope for me then the vans an auto and the next car definitely will be.
Same here!
After driving manuals for almost 60 years I’ve gone an auto on van and car.
Had a manual loan car a few weeks ago and did forget the clutch a couple of times. Remembered to press the pedal before the engine stalled though.

First Motorhome was a manual & car was an auto when driving the Motorhome kept getting a squawk from the passenger seat "it's not an auto you know". So I bought a manual to shut the squawk up, now got an auto van and a manual car the squawk is now in the car. :cry:
