- anigbrowl 6y agoIt's mainly an artefact of typewriters that people are already used to and don't want to change since it's worked well for a century already. Also, it's a bit easier to read in a hurry. Films and TV are almost invariably shot out of sequence for logistical reasons so actors and production crew are constantly consulting copies of the script under less than ideal reading conditions.
