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.

    Have you tried explicitly asking the person to reply to all points and use a similar format eg

    Please respond in kind like so.

    1. Answer to question one
    2. Answer to question two
    3. Answer to question three

    It’s important to answer all questions. Partial responses waste both of our time.

    You can also send out forms that literally wont validate unless completely filled out.
