8. Bright people with dyslexia will not read the exact words on the page.

But they'll substitute words and the meaning will be the same.

I saw an interview with Erin Brockovich the other day and she mentioned she was dyslexic. Later she read something which showed what was on the page and we could hear what she said. It was a great illustration of that principle. Many substitutions but they made perfect sense and were articulate and intelligent.

Donald Trump isn't a bright person, so his substitutions do not make sense or sound right.
