Just as the title asks I’ve noticed a very sharp increase in people just straight up not comprehending what they’re reading.
They’ll read it and despite all the information being there, if it’s even slightly out of line from the most straightforward sentence structure, they act like it’s complete gibberish or indecipherable.
Has anyone else noticed this? Because honestly it’s making me lose my fucking mind.
What do you mean “sudden?” It’s been the bane of my existence since first logging into the Internet and discovering chat rooms in the early 90’s, communicating solely by text.
The only trouble is figuring out who just doesn’t understand and who is reading what they want it to say instead.
Yeah, I’d actually bet it’s skyrocketed in the last bit, because everyone’s reading all the time on the internet. Have you ever read something a typical, non-academic old person wrote?
