Has anyone else noticed a sudden lack of reading comprehension skills?

Just as the title asks I've noticed a very sharp increase in people just straight up not comprehending what they're reading.

They'll read it and despite all the information being there, if it's even slightly out of line from the most straightforward sentence structure, they act like it's complete gibberish or indecipherable.

Has anyone else noticed this? Because honestly it's making me lose my fucking mind.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

They don't think it be like it is, but it do.

You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense.

Is this what it's like to have a stroke?

Oh thank goodness I thought it was just me. When I read that I thought 'dang covid messed me up'

Been a few years since having covid, but my wife and I both feel like we lost some memory and brain power from it, even though we were both vaccinated and had less evere symptoms than others.

In our 30s by the way

nah its a copypasta internet meme from waaay back in the day. Probably like around 2004.

This feels like reading a language that you only kinda know.
