Random thought concerning personal AI ethics: it's rude to publish something that would take someone longer to read than it took you to write it

@simon anything you write, will always take longer to read by someone with English as a second language.

With regards to text the only question to ask is if the thing you're asking others to read is worth time and effort to consume. To help others make that decision _before_ reading i put an "average reading time" calculation at the top of each post. That's for average English reader but ESL people can extrapolate from that.

@masukomi @simon I'm not sure it's true that it will always take longer for ESL reader to read than for EFL author to write?

Writing something worth reading almost always takes a pretty hefty multiplier of time over the reading of it...
