The article from MSN discusses various reading quirks and their scientific explanations. It highlights how people often skim or skip text, a behavior known as "chunking," where readers process information in larger units rather than word by word, which is more efficient for comprehension. Another common habit is re-reading sentences, which can be attributed to the brain's attempt to ensure understanding or due to distractions. The article also touches on the phenomenon of subvocalization, where readers silently pronounce words as they read, which can slow down reading speed but aids in comprehension.
