So did Spock & the other characters all forget how to read? Or was it just Spock forgetting how to read English?

Yes. If Archer was Bakula's age, He would have been born around 2105. Assuming his great-grandparents were 75ish-80ish at his birth (assuming they were alive), they wouldn't be adults until the mid to late 2040s, not to mention the great grandfather had senior ranking in that story Archer told meaning it happened...maybe closer to 2050s, or he was an older Dad, but still born in the 21st...
Archer's go crazy in their 50s, give or take.
Genetic disease.
We do not know which side Archer's great grandfather was fighting on.
If at least one of Archer's Grandfather's was a genetically superior Superman... Either on his mothers side who had better genes after resequencing, or on his dad's side because Clarke's Syndrome may be a side effect of genetic re-sequencing that strikes future generations? Point is, Supermen might live twice as long stupid ordinary humans, so the timeline holds for a 90s Eugenics war.
I don’t think they specified. It should probably be the latter since the old guy in the planet could read the name tattooed on his arm. I’m not sure if Ortegas looked at her pad once Spock said that. I suppose we could always use the “weird space phenomenon effects Vulcan brains differently” trope as well to explain it.
Another pile of crap from this season. Its really looking like the Strange New Worlds experiment is pretty much over, too many shitty producers/writers in the mix for the good cast and premise to compensate for. This week was basically just a normal (terrible) Discovery episode, minus the scenes of the main character crying that would be required on an episode of Discovery. Unsurprisingly, one of the credited writers of this episode was a staff writer on Discovery.
The description of next weeks episode seems even worse then this episode. I don't think I've seen a Trek show fall this badly from one season to another, at this point the LD crossover is the only episode that will probably be any good.

It was better than the baby Khan episode but it still lacked something. The Kelar warriors didn't look as menacing and weird as the one we saw in the cage. Riegel VII looked toned down and not as alien as it did in The Cage. The scenes where they kept discussing "The Forgetting" was too long. Good things in the episode we found out that Pikes Yeoman was still alive and he's a jerk. We got more Ortegas but still not enough to know her yet. They need to give her character a whole episode. So far I've liked the first season better but this show is still light years better than STD

In my mind it was Spock forgetting how to read English. When that happened they didn't show Ortega's looking to see if she could read hers so there's no way to know for sure without asking the producers.
She'll become just like Sulu soon. Data flew the ship but we knew loads about him. Come on man
Data was on Ops. Miles, Geordi, Wesley and Ro flew the ship
If Ortega had gone to the Surface... No adventure.
She likes hats.
She likes hats.
see? we learned a lot about her. she is a pilot, she flies the ship, she wants to go on a landing party, she likes hats.
compare that to o'brien after 14 episodes
I suppose that we could chalk that up to Pike thinking they were more monstrous than perhaps they were in reality because of the sudden attack and crewmember deaths coloring the memory the Talosians used for their illusion.
I thought that one of the benefits of Spock's second visit to Talos IV was that the Talosians cured that for Spock?
Personally I could do with less, but that's just me.
