№ 3 When you see the word 'read', is your first instinct to read it as present tense or past tense?
Present tense, for sure. I'm not the biggest fan of words I have to know the context before I know how to pronounce it.

@saposcat@indieauthors.social isn't it funny that there is genuine ambiguity about the tense of "read" but we never think of confusing it with "red". Whereas there is genuine confusion about lead/led.
