I recently read in a psychology course, that dyslexia is more prevalent in English speaking countries because we don’t have a phonetic alphabet. As in, every letter in the alphabet is pronounced the same in an actual word.
Interesting. Was this mentioned in the article at all? Ima read it tomorrow, it’s bed time now haha.
Afterthought. So they found the genes, so this could potentially be another nature and nurture argument. You got the predisposition via genes, but being in an English speaking part of the world, you are more likely, via the environment, to activate those genes and thus have dyslexia.

So recently, I was studying and I put ear plugs in when doing so. My spouse wasn’t at home and it was just me and our two cats. I went to go do laundry and while I was kneeling on the ground putting things in the washer, one of our cats jumped onto my back (if I wasn’t wearing ear plugs totally in my own world I would have heard her approach), but for a brief second it felt like someone put their hand on my back and I fucking screamed and sprang around ready to die probably, and scared the shit out of our cat in return who leaped straight into the air, and then landed on my fucking face and I got a big scratch over my lip. Yea, I know how this dude feels
