Internet Archive is not immune to collapse of civilization. In fact, such kind of service would probably be the first to be abandoned in case of war or serious disaster. It also requires electricity and I don’t think that organization have it’s own power generation capable of running in autarky for centuries.
Letters from 1000 years ago obviously have great historical value, but it's not like they're the only kind of record that exists. We still print books, newspapers, government edicts, contracts, invoices, and photographs. We still hang plaques.
On the scale of millennia, I wouldn't be too worried; disasters happen to any storage medium, and even our knowledge of Greek and Roman society today comes from surprisingly few sources. I think the bigger concern is the near-term effect of something like an EMP event, the digital library of papyruses burning down.
Maybe it’s the fact that I am not seeing the surrounding context with your quote, but it reads fine to me.
Perhaps it is my own way of thinking & writing which enables this. I was told by my mother that she knows when she’s reading something I wrote versus my siblings.
Otherwise, perhaps it is related to when one reads misspelled or incomplete words, yet our brains enable us to understand what was meant anyway, and in some cases, this is only consciously realized upon a second read.
Native language probably helps (or hinders) too. In French it’s common to cram 3-4 different information belonging to various level of concerns in a single sentence so I didn’t bat an either at processing the quote.
