I feel like it ruins the cadence, in my head anything I read with this sounds like it's coming from a robot.

- javanix 13y agoYeah, I tried reading an excerpt from http://deadspin.com/when-englands-greatest-genius-took-over-englands-best-1541327342 http://deadspin.com/when-englands-greatest-genius-took-over-... and not only did it sound odd in my head, I felt like I wasn't really reading any quicker than I normally would. I think that perhaps a line-by-line reader would be appropriate, rather than word per word.
- wpears 13y agoYou're quite correct that cadence is diminished, though that can be mitigated by adding a delay to each word based on its length.
- pkghost 13y agoThere is, in fact, a delay based on word characteristics, but it's not just length that matters, it's the uniqueness of a word's shape. Spritz has a nice blog post on the topic: http://www.spritzinc.com/blog/ http://www.spritzinc.com/blog/.
