Myths section?
Due to the large volume of false stories attributed to Einstein, do you think either a myths section or page would be appropriate. Off the top of my head I can think of several myths ex: left handedness, bad student stories, the "Einstein disproves atheist professor" story. Relevant or not? --76.118.78.127 (talk) 16:11, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
Although the claim that Einstein was dyslexic can be found on many websites (dyslexia organisations often list him among famous dyslexics), there is not a scrap of evidence that he was. I once tried to track down the origins of the story and found "Dyslexia: To Read or Not To Read", Essays of an Information Scientist, 10 March 1980: "A psychiatrist Lloyd Thompson… also suggests that Einstein may have been dyslexic, though Einstein's biographer, Ronald W. Clark, disagrees." So the original source is nothing but a suggestion from a psychiatrist: Thompson, L. J., "Language disability in men of eminence", Bull. Orton Soc. 19:113-20, 1969.

"The strongest argument that Einstein was not dyslexic is that he mastered the German language perfectly and his ability to express himself in writing and speech showed high skills of comprehension, discrimination and precision." Esterson (talk) 07:22, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Pronunciation of Einstein's name
Please remove "pron.: /ˈælbərt ˈaɪnstaɪn/" from the article. There is only one correct way to pronounce Albert Einstein's name and it is "German: ". Anything else is simply ignorance toward the pronunciation of a person's name. I do not think Misplaced Pages should endorse such ignorance, but instead educate about the correct one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.233.174.49 (talk) 11:37, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
