mild dyslexia? maybe. confusing grammatical rules? definitely. english is a fucked up language, yo.

well, a lot of it is confusing, but i don't think the rules for plurals and possessives are confusing. you just have to know what you mean rather than thinking phonetically. (perhaps that's what dyslexics do, sort of. think phonetically. my mother is mildly dyslexic and does things like switch two entire words, and randomly add an 's' to the ends of proper nouns--names, places.)
