me as a kid:
hyperlexic
always yapping
early reader
would-get-mad-at-the-driver-for-passing-a-billboard-too-fast-to-be-read type kid
read-the-cereal-box-during-breakfast type kid
corrected adults using general terms favouring specific information
called out the teacher for spelling mistakes on the board
read one book a day
weird mix of formal speech and out of date slang vocabulary
me now:
keeps forgetting words or their meaning
poor diction
haven't touched a book in month
can't separate slang from formal speech
barely literate loser
the fuck happened let me go back
