Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - April 2016

I think it's fair to recognise that, for some of our members, spelling isn't their strong point. This hobby attracts many people who are not neurotypical and some of those people may also have specific learning difficulties, such as dyslexia. Spell check can only go so far to help with that. I have no idea of biglugs' specific difficulties and nor do I wish to embarrass him by prying. It's the adult thing to do to give a young lad who is obviously struggling with communication a fair hearing without resorting to digs. Fair enough to ask for clarification if needed, but in this instance, it was clear from the context that the wrong spelling of to/too had been selected.

For perspective, almost 10 year old is currently practicing some writing with Husband. He cannot write independently and needs help with pencil control. I will be over the moon if he can express himself as well as anyone on here, in 3 years time but, as his mum, I'd want to put my hands through the screen and throttle anyone who made fun of him for not being as eloquent as some.

And now back to unexpected vehicle allocations...
