idk I'm not trying to say I'm built different or anything but I've done the manual reading exercise so many times that I usually just need to read it once and it sticks in my head long enough that it doesn't hinder my productivity. This workflow is cozy to me

Are you intentionally misreading my posts or is this just a superiority complex? It's not about how long something takes to learn or how often I have to look it up. It's about how long it takes to do on a daily basis.

unintentionally misread your comment because this thread has diverged into so many different branches I'm having difficulty tracking it. damn man

But aren’t you so great at reading that you get everything the first time and never forget?

Yes, I know I‘m mean right now but you ran into that.

I really don't think my mistake, which I admit, and I'm sorry for, warrant this response. I'm not interested in continuing conversation with you

That's the polar opposite of how I work with regards to manuals. I cannot retain that level of in-depth knowledge without anything to anchor it to. Reading a dictionary for a language before learning the grammar syntax does not work for me at all (and explains why I wasn't able to really learn languages until I was a teenager!).
