I think this is more attributed to how the people around you spoke rather than strictly reading.

My college roommate and I both grew up reading. My family also read books and one parent was college educated. Her family only read the local paper (6th grade reading level). She was the only reader in her family.

So we both grew up reading, but I could pronounce words she couldn't simply because the people around me also knew and used them.

The point you made is literally the point in the joke.

You just proved it more right with another example. I'm not entirely sure what you are going for here ๐Ÿค”

You're saying the meme's joke is that reading causes people to say things wrong?
