Do you prefer to read...long or short comments? ( Archived) (41)

yes I was not wanting to text you or get your phone number

The shorter the better. I hate reading through paragraph after paragraph after paragraph. Even before texting back when I was in high school, we would be given a assignment. Most people would write out 4 - 5 pages, I would sum everything up in less than 2 small paragraphs. Had more than one argument with the teachers, they always ask me to write more. I would say to them "did I sum everything up?" Did I miss anything?" They tell me I covered everything in what I wrote up, then I say to them "well why am I standing in front of your desk with you asking me to write more? Would you rather waste 20 minutes reading some long winded crap that said nothing or get all the important points in less than a 2 minute read?"

Same go every assignment, I refused to write one word more than was needed.

this is true for resumes. The shorter, the better. Employers are impressed when candidates can capture the gist succinctly. In medicine, the adage is “tell as much as you can with the fewest words”.

I prefer this _spacing _

I might change my mind...if you talk me into though
