I can write correctly, but never neatly, no matter how hard I try. I have been an artist my entire life, and professional artist for a while. But also, I transpose numbers in memory. I can read a number, a price, and phone number. And minutes later, I have to try really hard to recall the numbers in the correct order. A day later and I am totally convinced of my memory, but the numbers are not in the right order. Most often it's a pair. In college I learned to memorize an entire deck of cards (not in order though), and I could have a friend take out a few cards. I could then look at the remaining cards in the deck, only once each, and tell my friend which cards he had taken out. (this is all technique and training, no memory wizard here) But still can't keep numbers straight. Edit: At the bottom of the dysgraphia page some commenters linked to, there's other related issues. The one I found was dyscalculia [0], I had NO idea this was a thing!! Ha. This explains my entire childhood. Thanks HN for seemingly random information changing my life. I can measure something like 10 times, and still cut the wrong length of board. I have to work really, really hard to cut and measure things correctly. I couldn't remember how the friggin denominator worked, still. I have kids and I had a hard time teaching them fractions. Yet I have thousands of lines of code clearly in my head right now... My wife can tell me the price of an item with the sales percent automatically, and tally up a bill with the tip in an instant, (and she hates math and was never good at it!) and I would have to get out pencil/paper or concentrate incredibly hard, and still likely be off. What a revelation. Thanks guys for this discussion. Edit: I don't think I have dysgraphia, (nothing severe like some of the comments here) but I also write in all caps because of "general" writing problems, I wonder if there's a mix of issues that are related.
