Seriously! Church bulletins, as well people who send announcements for church bulletins, can be really frustrating. Some people make announcements with the worst wording or even better -- really vague. Sometime, I'd like to take a poll sometime to find out how many people read what they've written before sending an email, finishing a note, etc. If we all did this, just think. There'd be a ton less errors in our correspondence. We'd get more done because we communicated more clearly and to top it all off we'd sound more professional. 

I put together the bulletin for my church. Tonight as I was compiling anouncements for this week's edition, I found myself having a discussion with myself as to whether to left justify or fully justify the text. It was at this point that I remembered an incident several weeks old. For those of you who don't know me too well, I am an avid reader. I read every chance I get. It's partially why my eyes are always tired or dry (the other reason is the constant staring at a computer screen).

This particular night was no different. I had a free evening and I wanted to read. This thing is I couldn't. The book I picked up to read was really hard to read. I finally figured out after a chapter or two that the text was distracting. It was left justified instead of full justified as most books. This got me thinking. Are we really that dependent on fully justified paragraphs or do they really aid our reading?

Who knows. All I know is that it works.
