I'm not even sure it is dyslexia, just that it can sometimes manifest itself similarly. It's like some kind of naive idealism as a child but at a very low level, then you are presented these two systems for the same language one which you pick up naturally through mimicry and the other learned consciously is supposed to represent it, with some semi-consistent rules and then a million seemingly arbitrary exceptions that you are supposed to ignore and learn. I'm not saying you or I are particularly special in that ability (i'm sure many people notice these things), but the problem is if you notice these things in the wrong order, more specifically before you have the tools to be accepting of it: now that i'm older I can understanding the origin of these things (their evolution) and even being able to appreciate their subtleties as linguistic flourish rather than merely irritating inconsistency. The same goes for all the other crazy "systems" that have been invented, anywhere that a system has some kind of evolution and social interplay it's riddled with strange things that you would never design into it, if you are an extreme idealist this will drive you mad, but understanding it as an inevitable effect of the context of these systems makes it much more palatable - from a kind of "chaos theory" perspective. As an aside, I have heard that German is phonetically very logical compared to English.
