    while I basically agree with this sentiment, as this classic text shows "communicating effectively" may not require all the care and attention when typing that you may first think

    i cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno’t mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae.. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it whotuit a pboerlm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!
    unfortunately however this example of Typoglycemia is a popular urban myth - there was no research at Cambridge and other examples of such text are almost unreadable - like cdnmatt's posts!

    On the contrary, I think his posts are surprisingly readable, especially as he's blind.

    And his mood is also surprisingly upbeat considering the situation he suddenly found himself in. I had no idea a sudden loss of sight could be so easily taken in one's stride.

    Quite remarkable, actually.

    Re: EMIRATES now charging for SEATS

    See what I mean by this forum has devolved?

    1. I make a small typo.
    2. Smales decides to make an insulting post being his typical condascending self
    3. I keep myself polite and composed, and provide a decent reply
    4. frequent makes a cheap insult
    5. bkkguy makes a half decent post, but decides to throw a childish insult in at the end for good measure
    6. a447 goes on to imply that I'm lieing about being blind

    Thanks. Helps confirm I made the right decision in staying here, instead of immediately jumping on a plane back to Canada. God knows there was enough pressure to do so.

    This is way past simply being bizarre.

    Lighten up!

    With my record of going off-topic at every conceivable opportunity, isn't it simply delicious that *my* thread's been hijacked

    Matt, not so long ago you wrote the following, which suggests that there was no "right decision" to be made, nor any pressure to resist. "jumping on a plane to Canada " was clearly not an option for you.

    I can't just live in Thaailand for over 6 years, then show up up at a Caanadian hospital and drop $30k of taxpayers money on medical expenses, even if I kept up my monthly fee. CThe Canadian healthcare system is reserved for residents, not citizens.

    Matt, this is getting ridiculous now. You need to get your story straight and remain consistent. At the moment you are all over the place.

    Oh, and to get back on Scotties topic, does Emirates fly to Canada??

    a447, if you somehow believe that quote proves I'm some liar who contradicts himself, then you're really grasping at straws.

    Might be time to find a new hobby...

    a suggestion, though some may see this (pardon the pun) as a cause:

    Gay and lesbian ‘Braille porn’ for blind people

    I think brail is pretty much obsolete nowadays, or at least I have yet to find a use for it. I have the ATM menus memorized, and elevators are generally always two colums of buttons.

    Could be wrong, but I'd say brail is going the way of printed newspapers...
