"Reading" (strict definition, eyes) vs

"reading" (loose definition, close to the meaning of "consume written words [not intended as theatrical scripts] through various means") vs
"listen-as-form-of-reading" (strictly defined in this example as applicable to TTS consumption) vs
"listen-as-a-form-of-reading" (definition expanded to allow narrated books for the sight-impaired, as supported by the Library of Congress since before WWII, check out some of the Scourby recordings sometimes) vs
"listen-as-a-form-of-reading" (include the modern world of audiobooks)
