I suppose, but jarring though that experience may be (and we do it with advertising all the time), it doesn't make me swoon into a récamier claiming, "I can't....I can't read this....please, take it away and read it for me." "I can't read this." is a not an uncommon response among Taiwanese faced with mainland simplified text.
