Tbh I would attribute this to someone just having poor literacy. Many people have a surprisingly serious struggle with reading or writing. If you ever have had to listen to an adult read something aloud, when they aren’t someone who does a lot of reading for work? Slow, choppy, awkward, wrong inflection. You can tell they’re literally taking it one word at a time, they aren’t scanning the sentence ahead while reading. They do it word by word, storing each word in their mental RAM, and then discover the meaning of the sentence only at the end by reviewing that buffer. Then they pause as they internalize it and repeat the process. It’s an exquisitely painful thing to watch. A LOT more people read like this than literate people think.
‘You’re not getting good matches because people are illiterate.’ Has to be a new one.
Maybe. But also take a look at yourself and your conversation skills. Maybe everyone is illiterate, or maybe that person wasn’t that into you, or maybe you’re not that interesting to talk to, or maybe it should wasn’t a good day for them.

But nah. It must be everyone is illiterate.
