Took a hiatus from lemmy to hang around Bluesky. When I left here I was typing errors into every post. Some were typical, like not making a noun plural, some were scary, like using the completely wrong word. Think: “bat” when I meant “car”. Some were worse but I can’t remember any.

Having mental problems over the past couple of years and noticing this scared the crap out of me, especially as it seemed to get progressively worse. When I went to BS (heh), the problems all but disappeared. Came back here, problems followed.

Is my brain perhaps struggling with the font? Another interesting note: old.lemmy.world is far worse for me than the newer version. Can I permanently change the font for an entire site? I’m sure it’s doable, but I could use best-practice advice.

(Not seeing errors on this post, but if there are any I’m leaving them.)

    Your dad may have had something called “dysgraphia”, which is similar to dyslexia but affects writing instead of reading.

    I’ve got dyscalculia, which is similar to dyslexia, but has to do with numbers.
