Wouldn't that mean that you are incapable of reading text out loud at a normal pace? That seems unlikely for a hackernews visitor, unless there is something impeding you like dyslexia or poor vision.
I think this is a common issue when reading materials not in your native language. I can read a book written in French at least twice faster than the same book written in English, even though I use English daily and consider myself fluent.
Depends how you use foreign language. I mostly read and write English, I can read it almost as fast as Polish, on the other hand my pronounciation is still bad.
I think the more general rule is that you write slower than you speak.
Speaking is a great form of communication when you are live with someone, but it is a frustrating way to get a one way conversation because as all the other posts say, it is not index-able and I definitely don't want to listen to someone drone on at me about stuff I don't consider important.

Learn to read, I guess?

Could be dyslexia, or a physical eye problem.

And some people can't even read at all!
