Do you know what dyslexia is?

• I recently got into a "interesting" situation because I said " I am dyslexic" and assumed that the other person new what I meant. Apparently they assumed it to be something completely different that what it is. Now I would like to know how what people think of when I mention Dyslexia and how many people know what it is.
