Now I'm confused.  I might be partially dyslexic although I had the best
spelling and grammar of my entire 6th form therefore I would surmise
that it's only a partial part of a partial part of dyslexia as a whole
especially if you take dyslexia at its literal meaning.  I get 6 digit
numbers jumbled sometimes, if I fill in an order form, I have to check
the thing several times since it's not unusual for me to get a couple of
numbers the wrong way round.

I just tried counting the pins on a cache chip about half a metre away,
took 3 goes.  I also notice sometimes that trying too hard to focus on
words ends up in a mess, it's better to relax the focus slightly and
that fixes it.

Up to about 4 years ago, my spelling was crap, I remember in primary
school getting the really easy stuff mixed up.  Then it suddenly all
changed almost overnight.  Very weird.  "That kid ain't right".
