lol maybe before chatgpt was a thing
Font size, line spacing, margins. Slight adjustments to all of them and you're done.
Or find and replace all the periods with ones that are slightly larger font.
I did this but for all punctuation. Everything was 12pt but all punctuation was 12.5 pt.
I have to do this just so my dyslexic ass can read it. If its all spaced the same then it just looks like a giant wall of giberish.
For browsers there seems to be an extension that makes the starts of words bold. A colleague of mine said it helped them read better. To me, that makes sense, since dyslexics might have trouble finding where words start and end.
That's pretty cool and might be useful for a lot of people. For me it seems to just be annoyingly distracting, I might be able to get used to it though.
Works for those with ADHD too.
Maybe you could try reading with your eyes?
ah yes, and people that have asthma should just try breathing with their lungs
Perhaps I should also just stop having a learning disability too?
it was joke about the dyslexic ass
Professor here: do this all you want. It's not a page requirement, it's a word requirement. And it's a maximum, not a minimum. You have some tasks to accomplish in 1,000 words or less. Anything more than 1,000 words gets deleted or (if in hardcopy) crossed out/torn off and thrown away. I grade what's left.
MS Word — bad, LibreOffice Writer/Typst — good.
