Post names and > examples here Rest assured, there are some *profoundly* mentally challenge people in this world. Some are labeled "educatable", and manage to learn to read and write and hold down a job in food service or something, and mostly live on their own. Some are "trainable", and can learn some easy manual skill (such as "pick up the litter" for a grounds crew) that will help offset the cost of their group home. And some are too impaired to do anything other than institutionalize them - because they'll never get much past the average 2 year old's mental development. In my younger years, I spent several summers helping with a "swimming for the handicapped" program - and did indeed work with some kids well into their teens for whom learning "breath when face out of water, not in" truly *was* the biggest intellectual leap they had made in several years... (and mind you, they had been pre-screened at program intake, so we only got the ones that were considered likely to be able to learn - there were plenty that didn't make the cut...) Presumably, since n3td3v can pretty consistently spell words at least recognizably and find the 'send' key, he's better off than those kids, who will for all their lives find challenges in things like speaking a sentence of more than 3 words, tying their shoes, and remembering to go potty before they have an accident.... _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.

when i was a medical student we had to do an paediatric attachment of our course in Fife where n3td3v comes from sometimes you would see a patient in clinic that looked a bit odd but when you looked in the notes in front of you you would see that the consultant had written "FLK-NFF" this stood for "funny looking kid-normal for fife" HTH mike _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
