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.

    Good point on catering to those who speak other languages, I hadn’t considered that.

    So what does a B1 level equate to? I’m assuming it’s lower than college level, probably lower that a high school level? Are we talking like middle school, grade school, or something else?

      Sorry, didn’t get a notification.

      Yeah, it’s basically at high school level, so most of the adult population should be able to understand it without much issue.

        No worries, thanks for the update. Yeah that makes sense, we would hope that most people make it through high school, although the way they’re going in some parts of the US by gutting the education and white-washing history (they’re actually trying to teach kids that slavery was a GOOD thing!!!) I feel like in a few years a high school education here is going to be meaningless.
