    Is misreading things because your brain is 10 steps ahead part of this list? Cause I definitely read AD Home Depot.

      Honestly? Yeah. From what I can tell with personal experience anyway. My brain will speedread things by looking for keywords in something and then putting them together in a way that makes sense. However when you’re doing this if you encounter something that’s unexpected, it can either cause the whole train to derail or the train to just run over that one thing and mangle it so you completely misunderstand what you read.
