How to use "Blindly" in context?
When reading or listening to a text, often times we become aware of specific details that the author has included for a purpose. Understanding this purpose can help us decipher the text and better understand the context within which it was written. Often, we become familiar with these details and refer to them unconsciously.
This is often referred to as reading "blindly." In this context, the term blind refers not to the individual's ability to see, but instead to the reader's lack of awareness of specific information.
