Dyslexia is simply a form of higher brain activities. Creative sight and spelling. Which from time to time may have been observed in my posts. Some people simply don't appreciate the creativity.

As some may have seen a bit if mine. At times I'm typing and suddenly the word two ahead of where my fingers are comes out of them. If there are typo's here, might be because I had cataract surgery today and can't see for squat until the swelling goes down.
Okay, a bit clarification is necessary. This will be accompanied by yet another change in the thread title.
By "dyslexic," I meant transposition of characters, although in this case the characters are numbers, not letters. I think this fits one of the problems listed on the Wikipedia page about dyscalculia, thus the title change.
I meant "bugs" in a very loose, non-conventional sense of the conventional sense. In other words, I don't mean computer programming errors. I'd be very surprised if anyone figures it out before I explain it, but when I do you'll say "oooooh, I get it."

I do that sometimes. I just did it last night while writing up the weekend at the museum.
Now, can we move on to discussion of something more lighthearted than dyslexia?

Ahh, a double post by the TS, too bad that won't require drinks.
I hope that dyscalculia is more lighthearted then dyslexia then. Numbers can get pretty heavy. One of the causes listed sadly is about brain injury, again not a lighthearted topic.
Anyways, to save everyone else the trouble of clicking the link, the problems listed on wikipedia are:
Difficulty stating which of two numbers is larger.
Inability to comprehend financial planning or budgeting, sometimes even at a basic level; for example, estimating the cost of the items in a shopping basket or balancing a checkbook.
Inconsistent results in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Visualizing numbers as meaningless or nonsensical symbols, rather than perceiving them as characters indicating a numerical value. (Hence the misnomer, "math dyslexia")
Difficulty with multiplication, subtraction, addition, and division tables, mental arithmetic, etc.
Problems with differentiating between left and right.
A "warped" sense of spatial awareness, or an understanding of shapes, distance, or volume that seems more like guesswork than actual comprehension.
Difficulty with time, directions, recalling schedules, sequences of events. Difficulty keeping track of time. Frequently late or early.
Poor memory (retention & retrieval) of math concepts; may be able to perform math operations one day, but draw a blank the next. May be able to do book work but then fails tests.
Difficulty reading musical notation.
Difficulty with choreographed dance steps.
Difficulty working backwards in time (e.g. What time to leave if needing to be somewhere at 'X' time).
Having particular difficulty mentally estimating the measurement of an object or distance (e.g., whether something is 3 or 6 meters (10 or 20 feet) away).
When writing, reading and recalling numbers, mistakes may occur in the areas such as: number additions, substitutions, transpositions, omissions, and reversals.
Inability to grasp and remember mathematical concepts, rules, formulae, and sequences.
Inability to concentrate on mentally intensive tasks.
Mistaken recollection of names. Poor name/face retrieval. May substitute names beginning with same letter.
The most reasonable problem relating to a bug would be the 4th I think.
The 4th may only have the appearance of inconsistency where the real problem might be exactness.

What is annoying is dragging that bookmark to my favorites and then trying it here on e@h. It just doesn't work.
Does that mean that I have now won, because I have found a bug in the dyslectic bookmarklet?

1 + 1 = 3
which could also be written as
1.3 + 1.3 = 2.6
Or
1 + 1 = 1 (0.6 + 0.6 = 1.2)
