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.

    I think the comprehension issues are partly to blame for writing issues: people don’t understand what they’re writing, and then why it’s not what they’re (probably) thinking.

    If you see people apparently unable to understand sloppy writing, maybe it’s just they’re fed up.

    Toss a good ‘litchally’ or ‘emails’ or ‘backupped’ into the post and I’m all but done.

      Wait what’s wrong with emails? Like yes it “should” be E-mails but the word “email” is now in common use as a normal noun and can be pluralized just fine.
