As a matter of fact reading silently might’ve been seen as a sign that someone was an incredibly heavy reader such as with Ambrose. The reason being that one of the reasons vocalized reading was the norm had to do with how people wrote texts like it was pretty common for there to be irregularities with the script or especially that it was highly common for writings tonothavespacesinbetweenwordssoreadingoutloudfeltlikeamorenaturalasawaytomakeouttheindividualwords. An incredibly ‘veteran’ reader like Ambrose (Augustine also mentions Ambrose could read quickly) might develop mental shortcuts letting them more easily pick part the individual words that had been squished together and in doing so simply gradually drop the habit of reading out loud because it wasnt an aid to them any longer. In Latin Europe this changed when Irish monks in the late 7th century developed the practice of writing with more uniform letters as well as separating different words by leaving blank spaces between them. This slowly spread to the rest of Latin Europe (at least with the monastaries) until it finally became the norm in the 12th century, just in time for the explosive importation of scientific and philosophical literature from the Arabic world which was nice.

the details. A cool thing to

learn about Ambrose.

But if you asked him if HE wanted it and kept pressing him to actually answer he'd go "It's sex with Luo Binghe! It is a fact of nature that everyone wants Luo Binghe! And if they don't it's because they are asexual. That's the only possible way they could not want sex with Luo Binghe: the sexiest man in the Universe. That doesn't mean I'm gay. I'm a victim of the fact that he's perfect. I have to ride him! I have no control over this!"
