No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

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.
Literate.
Hyperlexia is a thing, kids with super-reading.
eulexic, I would think
this should be a real thing for someone who can read really well and has an extensive vocabulary.
people with it are often in honors english classes and read a lot, and also figure out very minor implications of things based on word choice at ease
it me
Instructions unclear, I have become a lexer and now am in need of a parser and linker.
it depends? I think there might be three states
Dyslexia, ??? (lexia, like you say?) and Hyperlexia
Wtf I'm somehow both of these
Wasn't aware of the term, but that's my mom. She learned to read before she was 3, and was reading books meant for middle school children by the the age of 4. Moved on to grown up/high school and beyond books by the time she was like 7 or 8. She's also been a life long lover of word and number games, and taught me how to count cards when I was kid. She can count cards in games with 2 and 3 decks. Got kicked out of a casino for it when she was in her 20s. Lol.
Eta:
Her sisters (closest in age is 11 years older than her) taught her to read, and all of her siblings were also young readers, but none quite as young as her.
TIL(Today I learned) about hyperlexia thx!
