not an excuseI know quite a few dyslexic people and most of them can spell perfectly well when they think about it.

Dyslexia's not about spelling...It's about the brain not storing the information correctly. A dyslexic can spell if they concentrate because they remember the rules that govern spelling and particularly difficult words stand out and so are also remembered in this way. Though my friend who spells it 'Christams' every single time may have gotten that particular wire crossed. I find dyslexics fascinating because they think in a completely different way to the rest of us "normal" people, and are generally more creative people.
and I promise I won't point out the irony of "tecnically"
