learned a new weather word, "Vigra"

Yep, and we have had some of that here lately, too. That usually means heavy turbulence for aircraft, which is why they taught it to us in private pilot groundschool.

 

[Escuadrilla Azul]

Operating grader in the mine and in charge of road maintenance, I use the local weather radar for rain and snow forecasts. Seeing clouds full of moisture heading full bore to our area and then not receiving a drop of rain I headed for the Googler and learned a new weather word, "Vigra" and it explains a lot....

Virga clouds

When rain falls from a cloud but doesn't reach the ground it can create wispy tails from clouds known as virga.

Yeah, I must admit that's how I first read it...

 

[SaparotRob]

Ditto.

 

[GTX]

What does that say about us...?

15 year strikes again 5 day suspension...wonderful.

 

[MiTasol]

This is known as the joys of parenthood.

5 Days?!!! What did she do? Misgender someone?

 

[Viking1066]

If she is expelled she has only one high school left to go to since she has been expelled from the other one. No gender issues. She is currently bisexual. She just said she was killing some staff. Big anger issues.

Yikes. Find her a good therapist. Good luck.

She has one. She says he's a fool and doesn't understand her problems.

Sounds familiar. He's a grown up. How could he possibly understand?

 

[Viking1066]

Right. It's always been a battle that started in fourth grade. We are very thankful the other three are nothing like my oldest.

 

[Escuadrilla Azul]

What does that say about us...?

Dyslexia? Lack of reading comprehension?

 

[MiTasol]

Escuadrilla Azul may well be right. I have a relative by marriage with severe dyslexia and the attitude fits. He now has several medical degrees and is a recognised expert in his field so do not give up hope.

Try writing and printing the same sentence twice - once in Times New Roman or some similar common script and once in Open Dyslexic and ask her which is easier to read. Amazon's research suggests that is best general font but, because everyone is different, look also at Best Fonts for Dyslexia and Why They Work and Readable by Design: The 11 Best Fonts for Dyslexia

And good luck.

Note - smart flight ops departments write all in flight emergency documentation including MEL's in Tahoma because tests show that is the most readable in low light or smoke filled environments. It is not so much fun to read at other times but it is also dyslexic friendly.

Many thanks MiTasol . We suspect our 7 y.o. has some problems with dyslexia and all of this could be a great help.

I had discovered mild dyslexia in my second daughter when learning to read as she would often confuse "was" and "saw" when reading aloud.

Just as mine, some difficulties reading reversing al and la and el and le and things like that.

Errr...yeah, let's go with those.

How are they at their studies? Are they actually quite smart but rebellious?
