    I really hate reading large swaths of text because of that. It feels like writers get too wordy, and I just want them to get to the point, so I skip ahead.

      Somehow reading instruction manuals and documentation doesn’t do that to me.

        Thats because they get to the point.

        Unless its jargon, like the part thats bragging about all their bullshit features.

      Shit like this is why I always read the SparkNotes/CliffNotes for a book instead of the book when I was in high school. The English teachers always claimed that tests would be based on things not in the summary, but I always managed to get by.
