gollark: When speaking, you must speak at a speed you can be fairly certain the other person can understand, but you can read at arbitrary rates.
gollark: Oh, right, I worked it out, thanks LyricLy.
gollark: <@137565402501742592> Explain. You have 33 attoseconds.
gollark: Anyway, if speech's information rate is constrained by how fast the brain can process it... how can people read at different (faster, I think) speeds?
gollark: I mean, as far as I know you get maybe 1 bit per 8 characters, and a syllable is maybe 4 characters usually.
