The word dyslexia comes from the Greek words dys (difficulty) and lexia (language). 

Dyslexia is not simply a reading disorder. Dyslexics may also have difficulty with writing, spelling, pronunciati

Sometimes, it is boring to chat about serious topics on main room, especially when we have a boring day or just don't have a good mood for something serious. Well, then maybe we can play games on main room.

These last three months I have seen some members
