More adventures of a dyslexic writer
Sacred, scared, scarred, does everyone know what these words mean without looking them up? The are words a spell checker wouldn't catch. This dyslexic knows them too, when reading, by the context that is, and if the author used the correct word. A scared bear, standing alone, could mean it was a holly bear, a frightened bare, or a bier with a healed cut. After spending a half hour yesterday studying these words, and then going through my entire novel checking the occurrence of each one, I just now had to refer to the little list I made up. But then, I understand normal people have problems with these words too. What's a dyslexic writer to do?
