Alexia is not the same thing as dyslexia[edit]

The Alexia (condition) page has been merged onto the Dyslexia page. I think this is a mistake, as alexia and dyslexia are not the same thing. Oxford Dictionaries defines alexia as "inability to recognize or read written words or letters, typically as a result of brain damage", and dyslexia as "a general term for disorders that involve difficulty in learning to read or interpret words, letters, and other symbols, but that do not affect general intelligence".
