Comment on Do you ever simply not understand a piece of text no matter how many times you read it despite the fact that you understand the language and individual words?

I understood it with context clues. Reading things on the internet definitely feels like I am reading an entirely different language sometimes.

Sometimes when I am scrolling past things, I pickup the words wrong because the words are matched to the look of a word instead of what the word says because I am not actively reading. That results in me reading headlines very wrong because my stupid brain filled in too many gaps and error corrected the headline to say wild shit. I scroll up to find out more and see the mistake. I wish I had an example.
