And here I thought we were talking about the band!
ngl I haven't had my coffee yet and when reading the first half of the headline thought "Oh, that's nice of them!"
Tragic that people are still falling victim to these hope-rot schemes. Had an experience with facilitated writing schemes with family members 20 years ago. From non-verbal to shockingly eloquent in no time! It's a miracle, turns out they were a genius trapped with an inability to express themself! Oh isn't it strange that some people just can't facilitate with them and what they say/know changes with the facilitator? Oh well, but thankfully the facilitator can always tell you what is meant when they use uncommon abbreviations!
Some of Crossley’s colleagues expressed surprise that McDonald, who’d never read, could suddenly write eloquent prose, and cite literary references, when her arm was held by the highly educated Crossley.
Turned her into a talking monkey.
