you're a mod you can change your name as much as you want

do them all

Not quite as many times as I want, but ten a month, yeah...hmmmmmmmmmm 

i remember the days when us normies could do five/month

I'm Interested in your complaint.

*pokes head in* do i need to point to the sign that says 'be careful with your murder sticks, children' 

Hold on Ene, I want to see where this goes.

fair enough 

I believe I got them all; the last couple I might have missed a few words, but got most of them and the message. (Also, how representative is this of actual reading? I feel like I'm both faster and comprehend more when everything is onscreen at the same time, but I don't know if that's a thing.) (That being said, I'm still a slower reader these days, mostly because I get distracted :P) 

I think I comprehend faster when everything’s on screen, too. I’ve always considered myself as a sentence-by-sentence reader as opposed to word-by-word

oh, not at all 

for one, flashing words on the screen like that is a completely different style of reading. supposedly it helps you read faster, it activates slightly different areas of the brain or smthn. watched a whole video on a study done on it a while back. strange that so many people here think that they would read faster if it wasn't word by word though, the study I saw had the exact opposite results. I think there are even plugins and chrome extensions being made to convert on-screen text into a flashing format like that, to help students read lengthy text faster. 

for two, all the different levels said almost the same thing, so our pattern-recognizing brains could easily piece together the basic meaning of it, even filling in entire words that we might've missed. 

for three, the different levels used different words. to be fair, they kinda have to, otherwise it wouldn't be much of a test. But I think level 9 was actually slightly harder than 10 just because of the words they chose. different words take slightly different lengths of time to register in our brains. (those lengths being slightly different for everyone, probably varying based on how often we've seen those specific words used, so we'd recognize them slightly faster or slower in proportion to their rarity in our reading history.)

so yeah, its actually a horrible test of actual reading speed/comprehension, but it's still a (mildly) fun game =P

I don't like this one. I'm sure it's great and all with symbolism, but... the old one?

If you look at it from far away it looks like a pen, or a brush

I’m also not a big fan of the new logo- it's just so… bland :/

lol imagine having dances

Ah, interesting. We don't do winter formal.

Yep I meant veterans day

I'm just an idiot occasionally.

Teachers that were veterans took the day off
