There are always things people want to tell to another person(s) that when spoken either thru inner dialog or outloud, will always feel like they’re so easy to say or hear. The title of this post is a perfect exa.ple of what im trying to write avout in this comment.
I stared at that title for waaaaay too long in both the front page feed interface as well in this open comment section interface before my brain stopped either having a stroke or stopped lagg g g ing so fucking hard before I under stood why it was saying. I didnt really have a noticeablr problem. Im being dramatic but it definitely a blink or two to get thru reading the words individually, then right away read back thru looking for common word groupings. Then pulled phone back looked at the sentence as a whole beforeitfinallyclickedand_I_feltsostupid

i have that a lot. i guess it’s because of un-conventional sentence structure, i.e. if you consider a field of interest for the first time, there’s a lot of new vocabulary and typical-word-groups to consider, and your brain pauses for a moment to absorb that new kind of thinking. that’s why we take a pause for a second. i have the same phenomenon when i read research articles about new topics i’ve never really read before.
