Here are three answers for the price of one:

i have found that many of the most highly educated people cant spell worth a damn.
Many times i will use WORD or Outlook Express, write and do spell check...but even then spell check missess a word.
i am also dyslexic both on puter and off...severly so with numbers. Still cant remember what Master's cell number is.
When i speak with one gal in chat, she is a lawyer and very educated and spells like shit...well ido to,but itis NOT a refelction on who we are.
If fgiure if someone cant cut slack....esp in chat or email ocasionally...are they worth the humiliationof it?not for me.
ok now i go to your profile to see what all the dommes area talking about.
We're not talking about chat or e-mail. Bob specifically asked why his profile was only attracting pro-Dommes. The remarks in this thread target his profile's content and the first impression it creates.
I realize dyslexia is a major headache and presents challenges. Training to circumvent its impediments exist. One example out of droves that I can provide: A former boss of mine went through medical school -- despite his dyslexia. We never would have known, had he not mentioned it. In fact, he wrote one of my letters of reference.
At the very least, for something as critical as your profile, I would think you'd ask trusted friends to proof it for you; the more eyeballs, the better -- just like when proofing a resume. Beyond that, you apparently make an effort to use a spell checker. Bob's profile shows that he does not. Bob's post (quoted below) reflects that he's totally unmotivated to take a minute to use a software tool that's to his benefit.

One thing to note; just because I mentioned I am highly educated (which I truthfully am), does not make me the best speller. I work in Astro Physics and spelling has not come up when I am working on complex mathematical formulas[:)]

As FP said, your education is not being called into question. Your profile is a representation of you and what is important to you. It shows pride. I am sure your resume for an astro-physics position was well thought out and did not contain spelling and/or grammatical errors.
Is this less important?
Hmmmm.... FP's name is Ti (pronounced "tie")! You can tell because all my posts are signed with my name and it's incorporated into my user name. Be that as it may....
I diddled with writing a simple answer of, "What she said." It's not in me to do so for such a critical matter.
Bob: Do you seriously think you can get away with hiding behind an excuse involving your career path??? We know with complete certainty that astrophysicists are perfectly capable of being witty, engaging, creative, enthusiastic, writers of articulate, correctly spelled and punctuated text. How do we know? Ever taken a gander at Cliff Stoll's outpourings?
How about pondering someone a tad less celestial? Consider my subby buddy -- a 24/7/365 sex slave to his Mistress/Wife -- who earns his keep as a physicist. Though he needs to lay low for professional reasons, he still manages to moderate two Yahoo BDSM groups, along with involvement in his local BDSM community. He sends me extensive notes, on every subject under the sun. His text reflects rare wit, ponderous thoughts, and they're all grammatically correct and punctuated properly.
The moral of our story: People who want to make an effort to create clear communication, that engages others, are motivated to attend to details. They do not hide behind excuses. Your desire to do so reinforces the impression of a profile coming from a do-me sub. I don't know any non-pro-Dommes who want to take on a do-me sub.
It appears that you need more than a simple profile revision. You'd benefit from a major attitude/motivation adjustment -- assuming you really do want to find a Domme who doesn’t expect monetary tributes.
