Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message?

It’s not that they “insist” on not answering, they just have limited reading comprehension and/or attention span. In the business world you learn to ask exactly one question in an email, and maybe if you’re lucky you’ll get an answer.

It really is a sad State of affairs that reading comprehension is so bad that people can’t answer questions in written form.
I mean it’s literally written down you can’t miss it.
And to clarify this is more of me complaining because I’ve experienced this a lot. It’s most apparent in online discussions, where seemingly a majority of what you say gets completely skipped missed or misinterpreted and replies often focus on just a couple words of your statement instead of understanding sometimes even just a whole paragraph.

if we’re referring to people in the U.S. it’s important to remember that over half of the population can’t read beyond a 6th grade level.

It is a sad state but it’s like the weather, you can complain about it or dress for it.

… Or both?
Why make a false dichotomy out of it?
