Meta shareholders are suing CEO Mark Zuckerberg, along with current and former executives, for more than $US8 billion ($12.2 billion) in fines and other costs following the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
2 or 3 sentences in row might look intimating for some (I still don’t buy this reasoning, did they ever visit a school?), but I think it actually hinders readability and not improves. Because every sentence is its own paragraph, the brain won’t find the connected sentences that build up a uniq thought process. Breaking up text with logic makes more sense for readability and is even better for quickly scanning through text.
I don’t believe breaking up text for each sentence makes it more readable. Even for those who say it makes, because I think they are “wrong”. Sorry if I came over a opposite-argumentative, but this is a thing that bothers me a lot when reading and I just explain why I think its wrong.
Half of US adults can’t read at a 6th grade level. I think speed and accuracy of reading is also pretty low (I read like 80 wpm and 80% accuracy somewhere, but i couldn’t immediately find a good source for that).
If you’re on a text forum like this you’re probably well above the average person, and your experiences are not universal.
That said, I don’t have any data on hand about readability so you could be right. I’m sure people have studied it.
