I note again from the article you chose to cite: "[t]here are currently no direct sentence spacing studies for printed text." That is pretty fucking unequivocal, and as I pointed out, everything else cited in the article is about on-screen text, not print. I will further note the WP entry you cited states:

The first paragraph of the WP entry it says, point blank, that "[t]here are currently no direct sentence spacing studies for printed text." We are talking about resumes, right? Printed text? Doesn't that sort of mean that I could not "easily search" for what I was asking? Because it seems it doesn't exist?

Oddly, I know what rivers are. But this all seems like hearsay; if you can point me to scientific studies that actually say all that affects reading speed or comprehension, maybe I'll stop resenting Kinja.

But the holes are sort of my point. Negative space is a way of calling out different concepts in print. Just as each paragraph is supposed to convey a unique idea with the whole making up an essay, each sentence in a paragraph is supposed to convey a unique sub-idea that makes up the paragraph. If negative space is

I don't need them for reading everything—I get along fine without them for 99% of the things I have to do daily. Which is why digging them out is a PITA and I resent you for making me do it. If you think it's OK for the guy reading your resume to start off the relationship by being PO'd, fine. Use 10 pt type on

I read printed stuff in 11 pt type all the time and find it taxing. It's us old guys hiring y'all young guns. Have some pity on the eyes.

At least ten point font.

I go back and forth. Yesterday I was looking at my pile of strange jigs for my TS, and there are some things there that I have a hard time seeing myself duplicate with a track saw. But then I keep thinking about how often I have to do that kind of stuff, and how often I'm just straight up ripping. That said, I

It still makes me wonder whether this is cause or effect. One characteristic of severe depression seems to be not wanting to talk to anyone. If depression is a spectrum, then there may be loads of people wandering around with mild depression and therefore a mild antipathy towards interaction that is being classified

Exactly the point I made below—apparently I didn't refresh the comments in the midst of typing. Bravo.

As a self-classified introvert, I'm always a little chagrined to see introversion addressed as some kind of defect, with extroversion being set up as the norm. As much as I'm guessing you will react that your chart doesn't do that, I'd counter by asking if there is there a "happify" chart telling extroverts what they

Does your county/city have any Adult Ed classes? I know my county had some woodworking classes that used the Vo-Tech woodshop, and taking the class was essentially studio time to do your own stuff.

Oh for fucks sake. I spend a week trying to get you to use the term "rights" in a specific matter—indicating when you are dealing with "legal" rights (those enforceable by the State) and what you now seem to be calling "natural" rights (god-given—whatever—what I was referring to as "moral" rights). And now you go

The State has a legal obligation to uphold moral rights? Tell that to the people of Zimbabwe, Syria and North Korea, who live under the laws of dictators with no respect for your inalienable rights. Where does a citizen of Zimbabwe go to get their legal rights to free speech and the like adjudicated against Mugabe?

I don't know what distinction you are talking about. So I wouldn't assume anything about what I do or don't agree too. If you have a valid question relating to the issue I raised, please state it concisely. If there several, number them for me. I've only got the one issue, so all that other chaff you are throwing

No moving goal posts here and your attempts to create some other side issue continue to be unavailing. My original response said exactly what I just said above your last post—my first post:

Proving again you can lead an ass to water, but it might not drink. "Forensic," first meaning: "belonging to, used in, or suitable to courts of judicature or to public discussion and debate" (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/for…).

Oh for god's sake. Moral rights are meaningless when you are asking the State to enforce a right because they are not enshrined in law and the State acts through law. But that is, once again, a red herring. Making this debate about how everyone ought to be moral is a total strawman—I've never said people shouldn't

There is a difference between "useless generally" and "meaningless in the context of this debate." Moral rights are important philosophical constructs, but as a practical matter, they can't help you stay out of jail—they have no practical ramification to most people's lives. You really try to completely avoid taking

"What I mean is that it's not a red herring to bring up the exact thing I was talking about when you replied to me." So I'll take it that you meant for your statement to be interpreted as "the BoR did not create moral rights"? I agree with that statement. I just disagree with the statement that it didn't create ANY
