3% in unprepared reading aloud seems reasonable if we're talking minor hiccups. In normal speech or anything prepared it's way too high


Which "3%" stat are we measuring, though? That's the part I don't understand. Does it mean we would expect 100% of people to miss an average of 3% of the total words, or does it mean we would expect 3% of the people to miss one (or more) words? Those are very different stats, and I'm not sure which is meant here.
