Reading Blindness

When there's a term in a text/book you are reading, and you don't know what the term means, nor is it being defined further into the text. You don't understand what the term adds to the context of what you're reading.

"This topic deals with the philosophy of egalitarianism. It plays a great part in..."

You: "Um... reading blindness much? Is this going to explain what egalitarianism is to us or no?"

Reading Between the Texts

Akin to the phrase “Reading between the lines” reading between the texts is a phrase used to describe the confusion of tone and implication in texting, especially with the member of preferred sex.

She texted me “Hey” but with 2 y’s. Maybe she thinks I’m cute, but I could be reading between the texts.

Read the Users

The specific, product-focused skill of understanding the behaviors, pain points, latent needs, and feedback patterns of the user base for a digital platform, app, or service. It goes beyond analytics to empathetic interpretation: why are users abandoning this workflow? What is the sentiment behind these support tickets? What do they really want, which may be different from what they're asking for? It's UX research as a social skill.

Example: A social media app adding more complex privacy settings in response to vocal expert complaints might fail if they don't Read the Users. The silent majority might find the new settings confusing and simply disengage. The correct read might be that users want simple, default privacy, not more complex controls.
