Isn't this kind of ableist? I remember when I was in school I had special accommodations to type instead of write, because I had wrists too weak to write legibly, but fingers fast enough to type expediently, they legitimately thought that I was a really stupid kid, until they realized that my spelling tests were not incorrect.

They just couldn't read that I had spelled it correctly. Somehow I wrote the word fly, and the teacher mistook my y for a v. I went from being the dumbest kid to the smartest kid as soon as the accommodation was put in place.

Yeah, I was using the speech to text on my phone, and it fucks shit up.

You became the smartest kid because everyone else had a stroke trying to read what you wrote.

Universities have accomodation systems for issues like this. People with disabilities can go to the accomodations office and get what they need to be able to do the work
