Re: [libreoffice-users] Medical dictionary/thesaurus

Well I did not remember sending this email out - I was Kracked_P_P - in 
2014.

I had to take Typing for my 2 year Business degree.  For half of the 
class my left arm was in a sling [left handed].  My typing teacher 
yelled at me stating that if I could type into the mainframe for the 
programming classes then I should be able to do the two handed typing in 
her class.  She would not take the doctor's note about my hurt arm and 
hand, for not using either for a few weeks.  I typed in the programs for 
the mainframe only using my right hand.

With Dyslexia, and one good hand, "caused" the typing teacher to call me 
lazy and wanted me to be expelled from that college for being rude to 
her and not doing my work deliberately - even thought my doctor stated I 
could not use the arm or hand and being Dyslexic.

When I finally could use both hands, even though the arm was still 
healing, I was forced to do 2 months of work in 6 days in her class 
while she was watching me and complained that if I did not fake the 
injuries I would be able to type faster.  It took an administrator to 
get her to ease up on me and not to give my a failing grade for that class.

Actually I was not the worst typer in the class.  Those 3 students did 
not get her wrath and a low grade, like the teacher was doing to me.

That was when you used a real typewriter and not a computer terminal 
before PC came out.  Later, with a typing program, I finely was able to 
type over 15 words per minutes.  Then I had my first stroke and needed 
to relearn to type all over again using 2, 3, or 4 fingers only.  After 
3 strokes, well lets just say it is hard for me to have four words in a 
row typed correctly.

Sorry - this is still a pet peeve for me.


The links in the 2014 email no longer exists.
