It takes some effort to wrap your head around the notion that not only can most people not do this, but statistically speaking most or at least a plurality of people have to struggle or exert conscious effort to read and many of them are loathe to do so. And roughly one in five people simply can’t. This did not sink in for me when I was younger.

what do you mean people look at words and don’t process them automatically? Is there like, research on this i can read or something? I don’t think i believe you.

I though people were just stupid, and chose not to.
