    You are correct to state that many British people are unable to use their language correctly. I tried, and failed in many cases, to help them assume their birthright, for over 25 years, but now all I can do is complain to the BBC about their frequent infelicities.
    There are, I know, many gifted craftsmen, including ones who have gained many awards on this forum, who left school feeling that they were failures, because of dyslexia.
