If you're reading something and you don't understand a word, should you stop and research it or should you keep reading the whole thing first? (lemmy.world)

That doesn't address why you are so confident your guesses about context clues are always correct.

Why wouldn't you look it up anyway to make sure you understood correctly?

Sometimes it doesn't matter. If I had a whole page describing this man, I'll most likely get the gist. I'm just not the type to look up every word I come across.

Then I'll repeat what I told you before: you should learn properly instead of guessing.

I'll consider it. Thank you.
