an old friend wrote: I might well not be able to, that is the meaning of Dyslexiod Aphasia, I would hear the S in might write Y it all but certain I would suffer from one of these occurances if a minute was 27 letters, any time I am changing media there is high chance for making such errors, there is a decent chance if I am just coping writen text, indeed to take your test seeing the writen word one at a time and trying to copy them first leters I can make such errors I fequenly do in the newsgroup find myself unable to copy corectly a word on the screen One last comment. Back in 1990, FCC created medical waivers at the behest of a now-dead King wanting a favor from then-president Bush. FCC waived the 13 and 20 wpm Morse Code tests if the applicant could show a doctor's letter. Canada has recently made the Morse Code test part of the overall scoring rather than a stand alone test. More than 5 years ago, I proposed here a "Chinese menu" form of license testing that would allow much greater flexibility in testing. But the near-unanimous reply from NCTAs has always been that the Morse Code test must be completely eliminated - no compromises, no more waivers, no score-blending, etc. In fact, some NCTAs and their organizations, like NCVEC and NCI, went a step further and pushed for lower *written* test standards such as free license upgrades and a "Communicator" license. What's next? |
