So many people in this thread are saying they highlight sections of text as they read. I don't do that, and no-one I know does that.
What is the benefit? Is it intentional, or is it a habit with no real use?
- Simucal 14y agoI don't do this, but I could see someone doing it to keep track of where they are in a large article.

- happimess 14y agoI do it in more or less the same way that I idly thumb the corner of a book I'm reading, or repeatedly open and close a pen while I'm reading code. It's just something tactile to do while my attention is otherwise occupied.
- Monotoko 14y agoI do it all the time...just out of habit really but it's one I can never see myself dropping...even in nano on an SSH client :p it makes reading easier for me, I installed flux recently too in order to make the white strain less on my eyes...maybe there's a correlation there?
