The research on line length is not new and it's certainly not BS. I'm sure that even you read better at 70 chars/line than 200.

- psychometry 6y agoOk, but does anyone really want to read at hundreds of chars per line? Just look at the comments here. It's pretty clear that there is a widespread preference for fewer. This makes sense, since typesetters figured all of this out long before CSS existed.
- hyperpape 6y agoYou just moved the goalposts! You cited research, then when pressed on it, gave up on actually citing any, and just appealed to people's preferences. If this is really about preferences, that's what you should've said, rather than making a fake claim to have scientific backing.
