You know, when I've remarked that a lot of the responses to my posts feel like people are just plucking out keywords they think they recognise based on the shape of them and replying to what they imagine the post says based on that, the possibility never occurred to me that this is actually how many American schools are currently teaching kids to read.

Like, my assumption this whole time has been that when folks go "I misunderstood this post that says [thing] as saying [unrelated thing] because I mistook [word] for [completely different word that happens to start with the same letter]", that was a bit. What do you mean they're teaching kids a reading method that's tailored to produce this exact error?

"We mothers, do what we can to keep our sons from the grave. They do seem to yearn for it. We shower them with good sense, but it slides right off like rain off a wing." -- Olenna Tyrell (Season 3, Episode 4).

The glasses bit made me feral the first time I saw it. Ugh. We love a gentleman monster.
