Our brains are built on pattern recognition and probability, and I definitely notice that through dyslexia. When I'm reading well written "human language" (novels, magazines, etc), I can read very quickly... over 400 pages on a 3 hour flight with high precision and recall. On the other hand, dense technical documentation is painful because the material is dense with little parsing context shared across sections. Bad grammar makes it worse, sometimes re-reading a sentence and it's neighbors multiple times to get a word to "click" My natural reading mode is "subconscious". It's fast when all the patterns are known and unambiguous in context, but falls back on a slow conscious process when there are new patterns or insufficient context...
