Angry protesters dressed like Spongebob Squarepants - a well known dyslexia sufferer

A hoarde of angry protesters gathered outside the offices of Dictionary Inc earlier today to demand a change to the usage of the term dyslexic.

Their frustration centers around the idea that the word used to describe their affliction is illegible to the group it is supposed to represent.

"It's fuckin' stupid", said one noisy placard waver, Barry Bollox, "I'm dyslecks..., dislex...,I'm unable to bloody spell what I am. It's ridiculous and a scandal".

"How can we be treated like normal people when we can't even write what we are. Why didn't they just call us A's or Z's. or something simple and easy to write?"

Other groups joined the throng, including the Illiterate Association. The leader of the illiterate pack, Gary Glitter, had this to say before being chased away by alert parents:
"Come on, come on. Come on, come, on. Come on, come on, come on..huwhhh!I'm the leader. I'm the leader!"

A spokeman for Dictionary Inc eventually appeared and made a brief statement.

"Due to the massive turnout here today we have pledged to change some of the words to be printed in this years Dictionaries", said Dick Shaunery.

"From today, dyslexics shall henceforth be called M&M's. We're are also removing the word diarrhoea and replacing it with shit-slop. Now fuck off back where you came from!"
