No. I am 40 and used to teach English to ESL students and I still cannot read perfectly. Even the best educated people occasionally come across words that they cannot pronounce or understand, without consulting a dictionary.

There is a difference between ignorant and stupid. Ignorant is something you didnt know, stupid is when you know,but do the wrong things anyway. I know plenty of people who can read well that are stupid.
Along those same lines, there are people that cant read a lick that are geniuses when it comes 2 certain things.
So my answer is NO.
Everyone is good at something---right? everyone cant be good at everything.
Were you referring to yourself in your qeustion?

It could be a sign of several things, but stupidity would not top my list. Dyslexia can often go undiagnosed for years. There are several forms, one for letters, one involving numbers, and one that mainly involves comprehension.
Don't give up!

Only if you were schooled or your not reading your first native language-yes it is. But know this the avg newspaper is written at a 5th grade reading level.

Could be that you are dyslexic & not aware of it. See if you can get tested for dyslexia & you can be helped if you are. It doesn't mean you are stupid.....after all you are using a computor & you asked the question. That doesn't sound stupid to me. good luck

Of course not.
You could be dyslexic in which case the following sentence might be more readily understood:
Jhyrhby, hu;jjsyrn bum shsinc, jiuh fyrtm,mnhgwhj bshgve?"

Well, it depends on when you started reading. If you started after you were six, it could be understandable. Also it dosen't matter if they are advanced words.
