Humans store learned words and just a few letters are enough to recognize whole words.

You can enable that feature in your user preferences.

It is currently only enabled for Post content and comments, but might also extend to the PM box later.

Thanks to @KHro_ for suggesting me to implement it: (your comment in the link below will look broken if you enable BR, that's normal.)

Edit: This implementation won't work on browsers released before 2021 (not supporting String.replaceAll() method)

Edit2: Added a fallback for older browsers, should be working now. (you might need to refresh your browser's cache to load the new code).

lol Not really as it doesn't change the content of the words, but only increase the first letter's contrast which really boosts reading (focus and speed).

> boosts reading (focus and speed).

I can already speed read. My dad taught me how when I was younger. I'll check it out but still think it's some sort of voodoo kek

One page I was reading about referred to slow reading as "verbal" reading, where you feel like you have to simulate the sound of someone reading the words in your head. Major slowdown.

That's the thing. If you are reading a document and/or literature or any form of writing really and you don't understand the words; you're reading above your level, a need to start with more simplified material is most likely required.

Reading is one of the only ways to improve this, think like experience at a job or with a hobby. You only improve by doing it. Even encyclopedias are interesting if you get your hands on older ones that are not completely kiked out. For example mine are hand me downs from my grandparents and from the 70s, my Websters dictionary as well and my thesaurus is from 1990.

I find physical books are the best way to absorb yourself into the writing and not be distracted by pop-ups, digital commercials or bright screens burning out your eyes over hours of reading.

Audio books are okay depending on who is narrating it. I don't want to hear a fag accent, a nigger, a jew or a spic talking. I just want to hear a White person using proper English.

Also, always have a thesaurus or dictionary on hand if you're absorbing new information in a learning standpoint.
