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.
Had this happen to me taking a marketing course (bleh) the other day.
“The word count is 2000 but I’m close to done with a lot less than that, do I need to have ~2000 words?”
“Hi! You can go 10% over the word count. Thanks! :)”
They also had a glaring issue in a quiz that, apparently, was never noticed by 500 people over the span of two years. Blows the mind.
