Why? Because I know that my spelling sucks and that my grammar is a bit screwy. If I want people to understand what I am saying I need to make sure people review my work for me.

I must say I think you've done an excellent job overcoming your challenges, prof.
I never would have guessed these things, judging by your posts.

The moral of this story is, learning disabilities or not, she should use a freaking editor. Most of us need editors because we miss things due to being too familiar with the work and because we are not perfect.

Exactly. Everyone has limitations. The key is to know them and use whatever tools and people you can to work around them. What's destroying her is her attitude.
