Is George Bush dyslexic?
I agree, dyslexia has nothing to do with intelligence, and actually does explain some his famous “Bush-isms” over the years. While dyslexia does not keep someone from being highly intelligent, it does mean that people with it often confuse similar sounding words while speaking, or reading. It does mean that dyslexics can have trouble understanding complex grammatical structure, or pronunciation of phonologically irregular word (nuclear, rather famously). Just from hearing him speak, I would tend to think that George is dyslexic, just because even if he isn’t a genius, he is certainly above average, and above average people wouldn’t typically make the majority of mistakes he makes (or wrestle with words and come out far too often on the losing side).
