    “Veneer”

    That, Verily, is the second time I View such Verbiage. Though the Verbose extent I remain to Verify, I hope it is of Voluble read, and not the Volume of prose to be of Vain poetic Value.

    (Sorry, couldn’t hold it; but will be reading it when I get the time)

      Took a peek at the article, and it is bothering me as I’m a fast reader, or at least faster than the article draws text to seem more impactful.

      So to those that also read faster, a tip, quickly scroll all the way to the bottom and then back up to load most of the text.

        It is a special way to render an article indeed. I tend to lose focus in longer texts so this format was perfect, reading it paragraph per paragraph.
