A number of people are sitting around a large conference table for their weekly wrap of what’s going into the magazine ‘Dyslexia Digest: By Dyslexics, for Dyslexics’. Various people talk about what stories they worked on. One guy looks particularly uncomfortable and is then introduced as the new editor. He gets a number of mean looks from the writers. ‘Hi everyone, it’s a pleasure to be working here, although I think there may have been a mix up. As some of you have let me know I’m not particularly good at editing a dyslexic magazine written in dyslexic because, well because I myself am not dyslexic’. Everyone sighs, ‘Not dyslexic? But...’, ‘Yes, I’m as puzzled as you as to why I was hired’, ‘so, you’ve at no time in your life been dyslexic?’,’Not that I’m aware...that would have made it rather hard to be an editor...I mean at all my other jobs’. AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.
