Dear dyslexics,
The unforgivably excessive permutations of terminology and phraseology in the English language undoubtedly appear impenetrable to you. Etymological derivations from multitudinous antediluvian sources must engender bewilderment; to this problematic repetoire, the inexorable advancement of time bequeaths neologisms - nascent, oft-impenetrable linguistic units frequently defying logical explanation. The vagaries of the language must be vexatious to your lexically-disadvantaged prefrontal cortexes; irrespective of your valiant and most strenuous effort, abject failure to comprehend is unfortunately inevitable. In respect of your likelihood of assimilating the information contained within this unnecessarily-abstruse missive, I can only conclude – you’re fucked.
yours,
-hp

Having a lot of dyslexic friends and family members
I can guarantee that they would understand this sentence just to prove you wrong. It's phrases like "Reading beading books bearing tears," that confuse.

Ahem
Cortices, not cortexes. It took me a while, but even you are not above Muphry's Law.

Gah
I blame Pinot Noir. Although, to be fair, I can count the number of times I've previously been called upon to pluralise 'prefrontal cortex' on the fingers of one foot.
But grr, well spotted, etc. I dare say there are some others, for the uber-pedantic.
(ftr, wiktionary reckons both 'cortices' and 'cortexes' are acceptable... Granted, I'm cherry-picking that result, as most other places don't)

haha, I suppose this was inevitable...
but.... but.... if one equates 'likelihood' with 'probability' - which one might well do, as they are largely interchangeable - then 'likelihood' could be assumed to run from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain), encompassing all intermediary probabilities/likelinesses.
