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

I think the comprehension issues are partly to blame for writing issues: people don't understand what they're writing, and then why it's not what they're (probably) thinking.
If you see people apparently unable to understand sloppy writing, maybe it's just they're fed up.
Toss a good 'litchally' or 'emails' or 'backupped' into the post and I'm all but done.
Wait what's wrong with emails? Like yes it "should" be E-mails but the word "email" is now in common use as a normal noun and can be pluralized just fine.
