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 the fuck... I just commented on another post where I was failing to read a sentence. This was literally the next post I saw.

lol. I saw your confused post just before this.

To be fair to you, they should/could have written it between quotations because its not really used as just a noun but a figurative expression: "the tell".

I'm not trying to be mean but I went through your comment history and found said post.

I don't see what you were confused about ๐Ÿ˜…
