TL;DR anyone? Like seriously.

I ran this through the read-o-meter => http://niram.org/read/ and it says "Estimated reading time: 20 minutes, 38 seconds. Contains 4128 words".

How many of you here actually read the entire article? Just curious, not trolling.

Nope, got about 1/3 to 1/2 in, and it started to seem repetitive.

Good points, but needed editing.

200 words per minute is kind of average, but for this kind of content it's easy to beat. I would practice a little as hitting 350-400+ as a fairly comfortable pace. It should be easy for most people and it really does add up.

As to actual content I kind of skipped over 2/3rds of it as it's really repetitive.

I read it. It's good focus practice (and I enjoy it).
