Did you learn phonics in school?

What decade though. I did too, but it was the 1980s

[nemo@slrpnk.net]

Yes, my elementary school explicitly used it.

Sure your country's high grammar might be consistent, but the general day-to-day would have influences from other languages that can't be so neatly categorised, and their pronounciation would differ from region to region

This comment section is reminding me its not normal for me to have maybe a dozen memories from under age 13. I have never even heard of phonics i just know i can read. Idk how i learned to. When i read i just like do it. Its the same as listening it just happens.

No, but I remember overhearing one of my teachers saying it's actually helpful. That was in the early 90s in California.

We do, and even those have rules. Not phonetic rules though

I didn’t, for me it was “Ai, Bee, See, Dee, Eee, Eff, Jee” (except in my local language Danish). My children all learnt phonics in their U.K. school and it’s taught them to read 5x faster I’d say).

[obsidianzed@lemmy.world]

I learned on the 90s.

[anomnom@sh.itjust.works]

Yup this didn’t start till after the 2000 election.
