The overuse of emphasization (heavy phrases, all caps, underline, bold, italic, exclamations, COMBINED!! :) ) for the sometimes later coming clear statement of facts (not needing emphasis because speak for themselves) is an irritating read. Aggrevated by tangential updates in prime location of the start (instead of end) derailing attention right before started. Educationally the style is very obstuctive. But pretty useful writing still after pushing ourselves through, even after decades of thousand articles into this topic.

You can enable your browser's reader mode to remove formatting. We can't hit a button to add emphasis in relevant places. Consider this next time you're tempted to comment on formatting (including that of this comment).

- mihaaly 2y agoAssisting some is nice but not on the expense of others, this is not the way. If this article was solely for the neurodivergent then disregard my comment and I turn away for good, but if not then can you please point at the button in reader mode that removes heavy phrases and all caps and combined bold+italic+underline and put the update to the end of the article please? Thank you!
