Well, you also have to keep in mind that MATY is the tough neighborhood of the Sims Forum world. If you haven't been poked, laughed at, and insulted you haven't been here for very long or you haven't been trying very hard. But here's a tip: The best defense is a good offense*.
* Offense is meant in all senses of the word.
yeah i just found out it is tough place to be , guess i got take it with a pinch of salt o_0

You'll take it with a poking stick if you don't start sorting that punctuation out.
I thought you wrote like an eight year old at first, now I know you're at University, you'll have to pull your writing socks up.
Process Denied:
Chester Gieke lost his pet when it was attacked by a stray. It was really annoying because the dog had a good relationship with all four Sims on the lot. He also had only one more trick to learn and was on the top of his career. He also had a good personality--it totally sucked. After waiting for a long time for Star to return, I gave up and deleted him ,then summoned him, then added him to the family. It made him stay on the lot but he can't get a job. I just let him be a normal dog, at least he is back. I wish I knew to try the move out thing and adopt him--that would of been a lot better.

Personally, I have a hard time buying your explanation that dyslexia is preventing you from using proper punctuation and any capitalization. Last I knew, it didn't prevent one from hitting the shift key. Yes, I know quite a few people with dyslexia.
Dyslexia is a broad church and some people do have a problem working out how to divide their thoughts into sentences. My daughter is one of them. She's at Uni in the UK now, heading for a good degree, and she still runs everything into one unpunctuated mess. My experience is that UK teachers either don't know how to do it right themselves, aren't allowed to correct spelling and grammar or have given up trying or caring. I used to get "shut up you neurotic woman" looks when I'd raise her problems with teachers. It's nice for me that we do care on MATY!
So Sasmi - you're not alone, but do try if you're going to post here or just lurk! Divide your thoughts into short sentences and run a spell check over it.

Same for my OH. His dyslexia is quite bad and although most of what he writes is decipherable, his speech is affected too (he couldn't even speak properly until he was 5) and he continually confuses words without even realising he's doing it. He keeps telling me long-term relationships never work when he means long-distance. LOL. "Happibly" is another favourite word. I'm quite obsessed with grammar and spelling too so it took a bit of getting used to but now I just think it's quite sweet and part of his individuality. He does suffer horribly from low self-esteem about it though, especially from school which means me as the straight-A with little effort student often gets accused of being "much cleverer" than him. My blonde moments have to make up for that!
