Hi again, it seems that a reader can a person who reads something but it can also be a series of texts and articles. So a reader can read a reader. Is that true?
Thanks,

Hi Nicole,

Absolutely and just to confuse matters further, a reader is also an academic title for a senior/principal lecturer in higher education!

So a reader can read a reader to a reader who is not reading.
