This post made me think of it as it’s a good example of this.
Every now and then I encounter writing like this (often it’s something someone is showing me) and I just read it, and then I re-read it and then I re-re-read it and my mind just stays completely blank and I have no clue of what it’s saying. This seems to be happening to me quite regularly and honestly I feel quite stupid. I’m wondering if this is some ADHD / autism thing, granted that english is not my first language. However, like I said, it’s not that I don’t understand the words - just not the meaning of them together.
Generally, if you know the meaning of all words, and the grammar is correct, you should be able to read and understand it.
Most of the time the problem is that you don’t know the meaning of all words.
Even if you know one possible meaning of every word in the sentence, words can have multiple meanings and you’re probably unaware of that which the author meant.
