True, but I don't think the you're and your error has much to do with dyslexia. I've seen it often enough in forum posts where the spelling is acceptable in other words. A dyslexic post has a totally different feel to it.

Actually (sorry, Jessica), but I highly disagree with the idea of considering someone to be "not smart" because they make common spelling errors. In fact, some of the smartest people I know (and I am amazed at how extremely intelligent some people are!!) are so busy thinking about the things that smart people think about that they don't really have the time to worry about spelling..... It's the people who don't bother to check themselves and their work before presenting it publicly who I question.......... Thus, a chart like this comes in very handy!
