half can't read good

It should be 'read well', not good. 'Good' is an adjective and is always used with a noun. 'Well' is an adverb and is used to modify a verb, adverb or another adjective and answers the question 'how?'. Since the verb is 'read' it would need the adverb 'well' to modify the verb.

proceeds to tell you that the way you used the words isn't right, your grammar isn't right, your spelling isn't right, the way you eat cereal isn't right, the way you drive isn't right, the way you speak to your mom isn't right, the way you dealt with that situation isn't right, and your whole existence isn't existing right

Look, your mom deserves a break, that’s all. She put up with you for years when you couldn’t even feed yourself.

You are criticizing people’s reading while you are writing poorly. I think you are missing the point.

EDIT: Oh I guess I am missing the point? Didn’t recognize the reference.

It's a satirical pop-culture reference to a scene from the movie Zoolander and completely intentional.
