There was once someone on here who kept getting berated for his spelling mistakes. He couldn't help it because he was dyslexic and had to keep on telling people this time and time again.
Would you say that he was using his condition to 'get off' with making spelling mistakes? Would you say that the repeated remarks about spelling mistakes, despite people being made aware of his dyslexia, was discrimination?

I'm sorry to hear about your partner, i imagine that this form of cancer is particularly awful. I've mentioned her in my prayers.

I often make a lot of spelling errors due to my sight impairment. Yet I never mention it if someone pulls me up on it. It's none of their business and its just rude to spell check someone. So I just let them get on with it.
As for my anxiety, its been under control for many years now and again I don't really bring it up or get stressed out. There are more important things in life than some anonymous person on the Internet.
