Has anyone else noticed a sudden lack of reading comprehension skills? (sh.itjust.works)

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.

Well that's sort of a bad example. What your explaining are two separate things. Filtering (moving to the front of a stopped lane by moving between vehicles stopped or by stopping) and lane splitting (moving between lanes at highway speeds).

Iirc filtering is safer but splitting is like way more dangerous but I'd have to look it up.

Legally they are the same.

Depends on where you say legally.
