  • Che Tibby,

    John Key is attracting women voters like myself in massive numbers. He's got good vision for the Nats (Prime Minister in waiting). Very attractive man and of course a very successful business person.

    i'd like to chalk that up as some kind of victory for feminism.

    male politicians are being judged on their looks, and not on their policies (the sentence about vision aside).

    I think we always have. Nixon wasn't voted in when he took on Kennedy because (among other things) they decided to duke it out on TV and Nixon was a shifty looking bugger.

    How long has it been since New Zealand last had a hot PM or leader of the Opposition?

    It's obviously been far too long, and now all the ladies are going gaga when a semi-decent looking guy wearing a suit shows up.

    OMG - just like wot is happening right now on UK Big Brother.

    Nice find Che

    Jabberwacky: Do you believe in God?

    ALICE: Of course I believe in God.

    J: Why do you believe in God?

    A: The Bible tells us to believe in God.

    J: That’s circular reasoning.

    A: I’m glad we have that all cleared up.

    J: Yes. Would you like to hear a joke?

    A: Sure, tell me about it.

    J: Why don’t blind people skydive?

    A: Perhaps it is impossible.

    J: I think you lie a lot.

  • Hadyn Green,

    This isn't about dyslexia, as far as I know.

    It's about internet chat speak (often caused by mistakes when typing at speed: "teh") and pastly about how kittens (kittehs) would speak if they could speak, which they can't, or so I'm led to believe.

  • Russell Brown,

    Please somebody tell me to shut up about dyslexia if Over do the talking about it.

    Hell no! With my kids, I'm a neurodiversity nerd.

    What I expect people to do here is bring their experience, and non-standard experiences like yours are always interesting.

    Plus, I actually think it's quite funny that lolcat grammar makes no sense to you as a dyslexic.

  • 81stcolumn,

    In the spirit of sharing -

    I suffer from Dyscalculia as a result of a stroke that I endured in my teens: The outcome of which was disabled navigation and the inability to make complete use of an alpha-numeric coding system. The only time it really hurt me was when I worked for the Inland Revenue and I had to use this filing system daily. I did not mis-file stuff on purpose, but my superiors thought I did. They had me followed in the mornings (when I did the filing) and to “make me learn” made me check every file in the building. There was the inevitable confrontation and accusations that followed; I just plain didn’t understand and could not believe what they were talking about. They couldn’t make me understand - the frustration, anger and confusion was frightening. I remember the confusion and frustration acutely - Eventually I was sacked. No regrets though, I did some OE, got into Uni, studied psychology and was finally diagnosed. The year I was diagnosed I scored 97% in a statistics paper. During my postgrad I worked as a counsellor for students with learning disabilities. In that time I learned a new concept; not better, not worse, just different. Go Steven.

    The lol stuff makes me laugh until I get asthma……

  • Ben Austin,

    leet speak write-up from Wiki

    If you ever spend more than 5 minutes playing games on the net (mmos etc) or using IRC then this leet speak/internet slang thing will become second nature. Which isn't necessarily a good thing, as it does get embarrasing when you say "lol", irl.
