You are taking all this from a rather personal viewpoint, which is not very helpful when considering Learning Difficulties. My comments are specific to non-readers and those learning to read. Dictionaries are the final recourse, and I use them daily. As far as the bus goes yes I really copied a red bus icon from a picture bank and coloured it green and printed it inumerable times. Our coaches are green, a red one makes no sense in our context. Red buses in London are double decker and public transport. This saved me a lot of work. My point about the chess is that if you are a follower of Turing you are seeking the absolute chess player. For me the better adventure is searching for the ideal teacher, and for chess we are entering that arena. I readily admit that with language we cannot claim more than a trivial aquaintance. However LD adults deserve everything available and some. Fortunately Scalable Vector Graphics are frequently a lot more transparent than text. I really do have to get back to my real work and believe that for the present the current interest group must have a feel for what our opinions are. jay
