"Misread" refers to the act of interpreting or understanding something incorrectly. This can happen with written text, spoken words, or even non-verbal cues. Misreading can lead to misunderstandings, confusion, or miscommunication between individuals. In literature, a misread can alter the intended meaning of a text or the author's message. Similarly, in everyday conversations, misreading someone's tone or body language can result in unintended reactions or responses. Being aware of context and seeking clarification can help reduce the chances of misreading in various situations.
