I headcanon that Armada Starscream can't read properly and even then the only words he can read are apart of battle strategies.
And then in Cybertron Starscream learns literally every language (speaking, writing, reading being absolutely perfect) that exists cause he remembers how he barely knew one and it's super humiliating.

got this idea when I was at a restaurant earlier today, originally just gonna edit Skids and Mudflap but I did the full thing.
