A couple years ago @underware introduced their High Order Interpolation concept on a worldwide tour of lectures (see underware.nl/blog/2023/10/watc). Now they’ve put it into practical action for kids: microsoft.design/articles/intr

Their work is among the most popular of up-and-coming independent type foundries — happy-go-lucky, high-quality, text-friendly typefaces for both display use and comprehensive typesetting. Underware’s typefaces stand out thanks to unique aesthetics, finished quality, and a considered collective presence.

Hello! I forgot to make an intro post when I moved to this instance. Ope!

I am Nessie. For entertainment, I make messes and then try and figure out how to clean them up. Aka I’m an artist, haha.

I’m interested in lots of stuff! Stuff like this:

And a bunch of other things that’ll pop up as I go along. Pleased to meet you all and I hope you have a wonderful day!

RT appreciated because this is a major life quality issue: the lack of spell checkers for Samsung tablet.

I use a Samsung Galaxy S9+ Tab (I strongly recommend against ever getting a Samsung device, for many reasons. Happy to elaborate further). This specific one doesn't have inbuilt spellchecker, confirmed with the Samsung support who fluffed around for ages before admitting only some models have it, you can't know unless if you bought this specific tablet, then blamed me for not doing research.

Firefox has completely disabled all Android spellcheckers, both inbuilt and extension.

I think what's happening now, is we are being forced to use the online ones that comes with monthly subscription that also sells your work to LLM training models.

I'm not a native English speaker. I'm also dyslexic.

Anyone found any ways around this? While I'd like to never use Microsoft Office Suit, at this point it seems like Microsoft is the least evil out of all the major players.

Anyone found a way of bypassing this? (Do not ask me to google it, google has fallen as a search engine for at least five years now, it's all SEO based irrelevant spam regardless of what your search term is).

For those like Hitchens who still think #Dyslexia has exploded in the 21st century because of lazy, woke, leftwing teachers…try reading this.

Then imagine you are a young child who cannot read..but desperately wants to read and catch up with their classmates:

While reactionary dinosaurs like Hitchens seem to wonder why life didn’t just stay caught in the aspic of their blinkered 1950’s childhood…Cambridge researchers believe that #dyslexia actually played a key part in human survival, exploration, invention and creativity.

Having worked with many innovative dyslexics I know where my money is. And yes, one of those is my partner, a librarian.

I’m sure Peter Hitchens writes vile stuff in the Daily Fail most weeks, but this has belatedly caught my eye from a few days ago.

He’s decided that #Dyslexia and #ADHD don’t exist.

He’s blaming parents and teachers for not teaching kids how to read.

A quick online search reveals he’s been spouting this pet theory since the mid noughties.

Zero evidence. Just spite.

I ask periodically but haven't found an answer yet. My partner has dyslexia, and I definitely don't have that (I can easily help her spell any word she asks), but I when typing I transpose S/2/5, 1/L and of course 0/O. I also substitute words like suitcase/briefcase. I also reverse the order of letters. When reading, numbers in particular, the digits seem to shift around, and if a digit is repeated I struggle to count how many times it is repeated. Is there a name for this? #actuallyAutistic #dyslexia #brain #neuroscience

A man from #Derby in the East #Midlands of #UK learned to #read at age 58, having been unable to do so due to #dyslexia and a lack of specialist help over the years. He was overjoyed at being able to read a #Speedway magazine he had kept since the 1980s!
