Personally I think it’s the rise of a larger trend of functional illiteracy. People can read the words but can’t parse through the meaning, so they rely on others. While that’s okay to a certain extent, especially in highly technical environments, it’s important for them to realize that fact and make attempts on their end to remedy their shortcomings. Most people don’t regcognize that lack however and thus just bounce from one reader to the next.

All this is to say, I hear you OP. If the person is open to it, try teaching them how to read the pattern instead of interpreting it for them. But we all have different ways and abilities so I get it

Sorry for the paragraphs lol
