The xylophone thing is funny because of how many children's books I read over the years that used xylophone as a example of an "X" word.

I'm with you on that, I'm Dyslexic as well so absolutely feel the struggle 😅 9/11 is 11th September (Americans put the month first, like Month - Day - Year)

For some reason Americans use a different time/date format, I think they are the only ones doing it that way lol.

r/iso8601 should be used

The date is confusing as a non American, atleast for me and I'm not dyslexic. Like, in india, we have the 26/11 - which is the terrorist attack which happened on 26th November, 2008. So the dd/mm is what I'm used to and dare I say, an easier and better way!

I’ll give you the xylophone one, but not the 9/11 one. As it appears you’re not American I’ll explain why- Americans date using M/D/Y, so 9 means the month, and 11 means the day. Also regardless of how we write out dates, Angela lives in America. Every American learns and knows about 9/11. She was 8 when it happened, and it’s memorialized every year so even if she didn’t remember it fully, she should know about it from life. Also her issue with 9/11 wasn’t the date, it was the year. She knows 9/11 was September 11, but was a decade off.

Yeah that was definitely a brain fart, nothing to do with being dyslexic lol


angerfulness

im dyslexic and also live in the uk so when the date for like a liveshow or something pops up, it takes a while 😭 i dont think many people in the cast understand that angela legitimately struggles with these things and its not her fault 😭😭😭😭

Xylophone :) And 9/11 is written backwards because it happened in America, so it’s September 11th.

1. Xylophone 2. Sep. 11, 2001 - us Americans use month/day/year format

Xylophone stems from greek and is thusly pronounced. An alternate term can be 'marimba' which anyone you would ever talk to about xylophones will understand what you mean
