FORWARD ONLY IF YOU CAN READ IT.

The copy of this forward that I got said most people can read it.  But now I feel special.

Pretty cool in any event as everyone in my office could read it at about 75% their normal reading level.

This explains why I could almost always solve the puzzels at Coney-Ilander.[8D]

That's a trick of the brain. Sadly my brain is not be fully warmed up yet, I was not able to grasp much of it. I'll check it out latter as my brain warms up as the day goes on. thanx.

Slow start, then my mind sort of re-programmed and it went fast. Only one word is still missing...sgtrane....strange?

In high school I took a speed reading class to prepare for college. Evelyn Roberts? Learned to read in phrases, then scanning paragraphs. Same concept.

Most scholarly articles are written in a point, discussion, point paragraph format.  You can easily grasp and discuss the content by reading the first sentence of each paragraph.  If you want to get more bold, read every other and backup whenever you get lost.  In some ways you actually are able to digest more of the POINT of the article as you are not bogged down by the discussion.

/clearly doesnt work in all situations and you run the risk of missing something important.

"cannon_fodder appears to be a very intelligent individual.  Really, he is just an idiot who sits in an office all day at a computer.  He has no idea what he is talking about and should probably be shot.  But certainly, he appears to be very intelligent." []

Most newspaper articles are composed in the same manner.  Headline, First sentence-paragraph etc.  Or they used to be.


Newspaper articles regarding events tend save space by abreviating too much at times.  They most times use "This Weekend" or "Saturday" instead of the actual calendar date with the month day and year and the time with am or pm designated.  Less space using 12/24/08 4pm, however with today's resluts from many public school systems that may be a mind boggler for many.

Wish I had known that in college CF although I probably did that sort of instinctively since I am impatient with scholarly texts.

Shadows, remember when the crux of journalism was to ask and answer these questions with your story? Who, What, Why, When, Where. Now they seem so lazy as to be satisfied with Who and Where. I love NPR and use it as a refuge from the poor behavior of most other media but even they have lowered their standards. I heard a local INCOG fellow being interviewed about the river plan as part of the pr push to inform the public. The host asked him if there were going to be any locks and dams to enable travel from Sand Springs down to Bixby. The guest simply said, "No, there are no locks and dams planned". You could hear an oddness to his voice. But the interviewer didn't ask him "Why?, Why not?" or "Is it too late to add them?" Just moved on down his list of most likely prepared questions without seizing the moment. And he's one of the smarter guys on local radio.
