Instructions unclear, I have become a lexer and now am in need of a parser and linker.
The dys effectively means disorder of. Lexic reading and writing ability. It’s a disorder of reading.
In the same family you have some others. Dyscalcula is a disorder of maths ability. Dyspraxia is a disorder of motor control.
Science likes Latin based words. Because it’s a dead language, the meanings don’t change/drift. Most scientific language can be deconstructed this way.
Science might like latin words, but this one is greek. The dys- prefix means difficult, lexia means “ability with words”. Oh, and greek is not dead.
it depends? I think there might be three states
Dyslexia, ??? (lexia, like you say?) and Hyperlexia
Wtf I’m somehow both of these
TIL(Today I learned) about hyperlexia thx!

Literate.
Hyperlexia is a thing, kids with super-reading.
