How the rest of the world communicates

Do you use the programs below?

In today’s modern world we all need to use computer applications and websites that require good use of text. As a dyslexic each one of these programs gives me problems and I have to use them every day. The world relies more and more on text and the result is the dyslexic falls further and further behind. The only option is for the dyslexic to take control and start working toward improvements, not just in school or day to day, but over the course of a lifetime. The sooner we get involved in programs to improve our spelling, the sooner the modern world will open up to us.
