read up on it

What you may literally hafta do if you wanna learn Chinese --- some of their text is arranged in a vertical column that hasta be scanned from the bottom to the top in order to decipher it. Makes ya wonder how the Chinese don't get sore necks from all dat bobble-headed noddin' they do whenever they sit down to read da mornin' paper.
Learning how to make sense of all that fancy vertical signage in Chinatown is fairly simple --- just read up on it.

Left-reading

Interpretations of media that makes excuses for sexist/anti-lgbtq/racist themes by giving undue credit and nuance to authorial intent; especially as a way to give a pass to offensive writing in movies/books/etc you might enjoy.
"Zelda isn't actually a damsel in distress because she helps in defeating the final boss"

"No, that's just a left-reading of her role. She still has to wait around for Link to save her very frequently."

or

"The left-readings of Rey's role in Star Wars Episode 8 are too forgiving, considering she spends so much of the film trying to 'fix' men. "

He is commonly known amonst his colleagues as a dosser and a Karen. He constantly complains about anything he gets the chance to.

Brennan is required to drink at least 5 litres of caffeine per day or he will be moodier than he already is. Brennan takes joy in ruining other peoples day and watching them suffer. He despises poor people and often looks down on them from his high horse.

reading a textbook

An activity that extremely mentally accelerated individuals do not choose to partake in from the perceived notion that it is a waste of time for their intellectual pursuits; for others this also means running their head into a brick wall and trying to find things to highlight that could possibly be meaningful for future reference when in reality it only devalues the book's resale value.
Kyle doesn't partake in a reading a textbook cause otherwise it'd be a Chiang reaction of boredom; but that's because he's smarft. Such smarft wow.
