Homesick for a home that I have yet to create
Really hope you find love. That level of hate is not normal.

You really out of your mind, which is sad. No one used dyslexia as an insult, you are the one insulting a dyslexic by stating that his titanic effort is as easy as listening an audiobook. I’m really sorry for whoever has to have you around, you need to heal.

By the way, my disagreement was never with the original post that stated, “Reading graphic novels is reading,” but with the reply, “Listening to someone else read, audiobooks are all reading,” which I still disagree with on every single level.

You are absolutely right. Let me rephrase my post:

“Graphic novels can be considered reading cause they include visual information that you have to READ in order to make sense of a story. Audiobooks are not read, they are listened”

On the first case, if the calculation is written you are reading it, you read symbols, don’t always have to be letters. In the second case not sure what you mean about balloons 😂

You are so lost in your own mind that is pretty concerning. History begins with the invention of writing. Before that there was no History but Pre-History. Who damaged you so deeply? Wow

If that what you get out of these posts, hope you never be a father.

Damn. Sorry

Agree to disagree but I do respect the politeness on your comments. That makes a huge difference.

It doesn’t matter how it’s consumed; that has never been the issue. What matters is that they are claiming READING a book and LISTENING to an audiobook are the same thing 🤷🏼. I’m happy with any form of consuming knowledge—none is less valuable than the other—but these are two different things.

I just hate winter without snow

Nope, I just don’t lack the common sense to understand the difference between reading and listening. I think that, deep down, audiobook LISTENERS feel inferior to readers and want to be seen as equals while putting in less effort. Not gonna happen on my watch.

Yeah, sure, the user with a master’s in English is a good one because it matches your way of thinking, but I’m a bad historian because it doesn’t. Got it.

History begins with the invention of writing. Oral stories cannot be read if they are not written down, they can only be heard. You are questioning two completely different actions: READ & LISTEN. The goal is the same but the media is not.

Stupid, right? Look, whether we like it or not, words exist to define reality. If this generation keeps mixing concepts as simple as reading and listening, everything is lost. Why does calling things by their proper name hurt? I think there’s a deeper issue behind avoiding it.

Thank you for describing the difference between reading and speaking. It doesn’t change what is for, it changes how it’s done. Rather be pedantic than immature and not being able to have a conversation without offending. Whatever suits you well.

Oral history and reading are way to different things

You’ll be an excellent dad

Whatever suits your narrative. I will never put reading and listening in the same level of intellectual effort. Feel free to have this conversation with someone with dyslexia. Or don’t, keep living in your bubble.
