Dyslexia and no Facebook Spellcheck

Dear Cybersorter,
My son is dyslexic. He regularly updates his Facebook profile using faulty spelling. Generally the computer is the dyslexic’s friend as it corrects spelling errors. Facebook, though, doesn’t catch misspelled words. I’m worried a future employer will see his profile page and it will reflect unfairly on him. I would like to broach this with him but I don’t want him to think that I’m snooping on his Facebook profile.

Dear GR,
You are right to be concerned about future employers. A recent Microsoft survey found 70 per cent of hiring managers eliminated job candidates on the strength of their online profiles.
Talk to your son about his privacy settings, which should be set to “friends only”. He should also go through his friends list and defriend anyone who isn’t a real friend. This is good practice for any Facebook user.
There is a simple, free, effective third-party application spell-checker for Facebook. Just go to the search bar and type in “spell-checker”. Click “Like”. If you are friends with your son on Facebook he will see that you have liked a spell-checker and will hopefully take the hint.
If you are not friends with him online and his privacy settings are closed it’s probably best not to badger him. Don’t forget, everyone makes typos on instant messaging and Facebook updates, so he won’t be the only one misspelling. Also remember children and teenagers have their own language, including textese. He’s chatting with his friends online. It’s not important that he spells correctly, only that they understand him.
