Though I hate it, experience has shown me that a meaty paragraph is a turn-off to many casual readers.

Somewhere along the way I got the bright idea to start busting my paragraphs up so that they are no longer a string of sentences addressing a single larger thought.

Instead, they are now individual paragraphs, isolated by a nice pretty island of blank space.

I'm also told that any word longer than two syllables is also a no-no, if you want to get in good with the bathroom reading crowd.

And don't get me started on the "AutoSummarize" people, who won't read dense text until it's run through MS Word's little salad-shooter for thoughts.
