-> Unless the idea is that without single-word-accuracy complete
-> comprehension of the text is not possible.   I'd have to think on
-> that one.  I've sent for some material that may shed some light on
-> the subject.
Surely you've had memos and other offical documents you've had to read
at work, or medical directions given by a doctor, instructions for
taking perscription medication, legal documents, and the like where
reading every word was important?
In technical areas such as math and engineering, texts must be read
carefully. Ommission of a single word here or there can mislead the
student and cause grievous errors in comprehension.
This doesn't probably apply to reading novels for recreation, but
certainly producing novel-readers in not the goal of our ed system?
