Mine is that at my age (barely made it into Gen Z on the old end) I just found out today that a Bo Weevil is an insect (beetle) and not some kind of mole or similar rodent.
You mean like imagining a voice speak out your thoughts? Thoughts are so much faster than speech, I feel like having to speak out all your thoughts would slow things down significantly.
The best tip I learned about reading faster is to stop narrating the words in your head, which puts a hard limit on your reading speed.

I like the reading tip! I think not many people are aware of it.
My thoughts use meaning, instead a specific words.
The whole interpreting my thoughts as natural language often takes longer than coming up with the tought itself.
This results in:
- I often use the intersection of the languages I, and the people I speak with know.
- When it’s a topic I’m knowledgeable about, I often talk too fast and people find it hard to follow me.
- I draw many associations and comprehending the larger picture is easy. Yet I often miss the point in the smaller picture.
