yes I have often pondered such things.
why is there braille on drive up ATM machines?
Why are there handicap parking spaces at roller skating rinks?
hows come you can walk in to a pharmacy and buy smokes and booze right in the front but the sick people have to go clear to the back for their prescriptions?

Why did they make DYSLEXIA such a difficult word to spell??


Or how about the poster on a hoarding:

"WOULD YOU LIKE TO LEARN TO READ?"
"WE CAN HELP YOU"
"CONTACT THE ADULT EDUCATION SERVICE"
"ON 0181 985 xxxx"
