Re: Vent
(Anonymous) 2025-02-28 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)I don't see why you're getting hung up on the definition of "read" when "book" is also right there. "Books" are things that are physical prints/writings on paper. Would you argue that someone who read something on the internet or on a tablet didn't read a book?
The point of language is to communicate. When people say they've read a book, they're communicating that they know what's in the book, not that they very definitely used their eyes to translate the markings on slivers of dead trees. The only time someone uses "read" to specifically and explicitly mean using the eyes is when they're looking down on audiobook listeners. And before you go on about how "read" doesn't mean that, yes it does. You can read someone's tone (with your ears). You can read the room (no actual text there). You can read my lips. Common radio parlance has people asking, "Do you read me?" It's an audio only medium....
