「tea.leaf」 Posted October 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 They can read.They just don't pay attention. Reading entails comprehending and assessing printed words' date=' phrases and ideas. Hardly anyone is capable of that anymore, I think. Wrong. Studies show that kids nowadays are better at math than their parents' generation. That gave me a good chuckle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe this is because people are so into themselves that they are unwilling to comprehend things fully. As you so describe...Which imo, is why I also believe that having a friend with near Parallel but opposite ideals of you to discuss the splits between to get a full spectrum of sight. Or at least the most you can strive for.... as for crabs. Yeah thats true XD, kinda ironic considering we are supposed to "look up to them"...

bury the year Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Speed reading FTW. No, srsly. I can read three times as fast than the average person, and still get what I was just looking at. It's a skill that takes a while to develop. Therefore, I usually finish a book in about 2 hours.

Lazer Yoshi Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Children can read, but only Teenagers who Care and Little Kids who Care will actually do so. Adults just listen to the News to get Information :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yogg-Saron Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Kids are kids.Adults are adults. Kids can read if they didn't do stupid stuff while they were growing up, smoking, alcohol, etc. and get an education. Adults can't change what they did, and someone might have already taught them to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

「tea.leaf」 Posted October 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 I think the worst is when they think they know what's going on, but they completely misinterpret it, and then they go on to make a load of false conclusions based on their false interpretations.

Dark Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Kids can't read these days. Sadly' date=' neither can adults. Discuss.[/quote'] So true. Even on YCM this is true. I make it a point to use proper grammar, and still people do not understand. I think that when people type in n00b talk, they can only read in n00b talk.
