Spelling-Reform

Yess, uvv corse, like most lingwists.  Fore wunn, itt woodd deecrees dhuh prevulens uvv dislekkseea.

No, but really, dyslexia is much more rare of a diagnosis in countries that have a sensible orthography.  There's no reason why English should have to struggle with a terrible system that we've perpetuated for no apparent reason when we could at the very least get rid of "ough" and disambiguate the two types of "th"

Really? I thought it was the other way around--I know many dyslexics have a much easier time reading Chinese characters than the Latin Alphabet at least.

It's also lower in, say, Italian- or Spanish-speaking countries.  English is just in an awkward place where you can't memorize every word as a separate character but you also can't use comprehensible and easy rules to reason out what a word sounds like when you see it.
