Lingo usd in demoes etc. is becaming
illezible. Exprezzons like sum, U, 4,
2 are steeling room from reel stuff,
correcter, reedable material.I meen, it
is a reel horror nauadays to try to
reed thruogh let's say a Baitreapers
demo.
I ain't complainig bat sum off dem
dings i huv hav to reed thruogh hev
bean obaut dis lvl. Its luvely, ain't
it? Seriously, it's all right to write
stuff and make mistakes, main thing is
to try. But when the text goes over the
edge, it simply doesn't fulfill it's
major function: communication. If you
don't have anything cool to say, don't
try to be artistic writing pronounced
english like I have seen in some demos.
Its rioli impassibl to riid, and
igstriimli adziteiting. Instead, try to
develop a new way of expressing media,

the old one-line scroll format is
really an ineffective way of media
transmitting. Some ways to improve the
existing scrolls:
1) Pause-option. Decreases the ire
caused by untimely interruptions from
external sources like neighbour, Mom or
Dad.
2) Adjustable scroll-speed . Even if
the writer or coder is a dyslexic moron
and can't read more than five words a
minute (like Grendel) about 95% of the
demo-readers read at different speeds.
3) A vertical scroll, maybe ten chars
wide governing any part of the screen,
but stretching from the top to bottom.
There should be about as much room for
development as with horizontal scrolls.
I hope these points don't offend
anybody (exept Grendel). Reason for
this article is that I know about 10^25
better ways to use computer during the
time it takes to read 35Kb text from a
scroll that can't outrun a snail.
