I was so confused for a second before I reread the post title. I could read the sentence in the little preview image just fine and was like "what do you mean a failed English teaching initiative?" Time to dive into this rabbit hole I guess.

I can read it, but I'm not old enough to have taken part in any experiment in the 60s. I can just read it, like, I don't understand why people would be unable to tbh, it's just some fancy elf script for english.

I can read this, but only because I watched RobWords on YT.

I can read it, but honestly, I think any proficient reader can read it with little issue.
