When it comes to math ...

I'm sorry,

The rest of your post suggests otherwise.

I had my friend hand me his calculator several times to read off the numbers he entered and the result. I watched him miscopy numbers like 565 as 556, etc.

This is very clearly dyslexia, and this is just not really something you can debate.

As I said in my last post, I agree it's not something you can debate, so I'm really not sure why you're trying to. I just provided you with link that gave a very clear description of dyslexia. What you describe is simply not dyslexia, and it will not magically become such just because you keep repeating it.

I don't know what I'm not good at, explaining dyslexia to people who don't understand what it is maybe,

As demonstrated by the actual definitions of dyslexia, you are the one who does not understand it. Your friend may well have some kind of disability involving numbers, but that is not dyslexia.

but whatever I'm so poor at, you remain quite wrong.

The evidence clearly demonstrates otherwise.

I still don't get what dyslexia has to do with this anyway. Fine, suppose one of the students has some sort of disability that makes it extremely difficult for him to detect that the calculators are inaccurate. So what? Do we know if this actually happened in the study? Do we know how this affected the results?

What's the big deal?

As far as I can tell, the only reason GreyICE keeps mentioning dyslexia is to try to distract from the actual topic at hand. Obviously a person who cannot recognise numbers has far more problems than could be caused by a single study testing if people actually apply common sense to check the answers their calculators give. In fact, I don't see how such a study would cause that person problems at all. If they can't copy the correct number off the calculator in the first place, what difference would it make if the number shown on the calculator is wrong?

You're right. You're pretty sorry. Please learn what Dyslexia is.

Problems in math/s can arise from a dyslexic child's difficulties with sequencing. Getting numbers in the correct order, and being able to reverse that order is a challenge for the student.

Seeequeeencing and nuuuuuumbersssssss....

Goddamn it, tired of arguing what are plain facts with plainly stupid people. This is a waste of time.
