Maybe we should just it all up and start learning Mandarin instead.
For one thing, Chinese people are never dyslexic. They are either literate or illiterate.
It may be worth giving up the English language altogether now that the English are themselves too stupid and badly-taught to speak their own language properly.
Indeed, so degraded are they now that they do not even feel the appropriate sense of shame.
Some idiot educationalist has apparently been suggesting that we just ignore mis-spelt and mis-used words. After all, "impotence" is the nearly the same as "importance", is it not? It sounds quite similar after all and people these days are too stupid to notice the difference anyway.

THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.

Non-native speakers have the advantage of learning the complex structures of Standard English and attempting to master its grammar.
By contrast, since the 1970s English grammar has scarcely been taught in state schools.
Almost no state-educated native English speaker has any idea about the rules governing his own language.
Such rules might have been introduced through the study of Latin; unfortunately, this is also no longer taught.
The tendency in education has been to inform children that whatever forms of English they already speak - and in a few cases write - are quite good enough.
For it is 'elitist' to teach objective rules, is it not?
Wrong. It is actually elitist to deny the majority of the population a decent education. This is what helps to keep the elite in power.
The prevalence of invented diseases such as dyslexia is designed to obfuscate this basic failure of our education system.
Of course, many children are now unteachable anyway, since they are the product of non-families.
