Writing has a rhythm.
You are looking at characters, yet there is a rhythm.
It has a good tempo. It can be read slowly. It has a sense of speed.
It is strange, even though there is no sound.
But the rhythm is definitely there.
Today's theme is "a sense of speed."
Our goal is to have people read to the very bottom.
In other words, to have them read through it smoothly.
⭕️ Without commas, it becomes faster
I will give you the answer first.
Without commas, a sense of speed is created.
As a test, today's text has no commas.
Try reading it from the beginning later.
What happens if there are no commas?
The sentence becomes a single block.
In short, it can be understood at a glance.
It is more of a feeling of "seeing" than "reading."
Which one can be understood more quickly?
Of course, it is the one you see.
⭕️ Controlling the disadvantages
There are also disadvantages to not having commas.
That is, it becomes difficult to read.
Of course, without commas, no space is created.
The role of the comma is space.
It creates a gap between characters.
That is precisely why sentences become easier to read.
Packed characters are hard to read.
For example, a sentence like this (you don't have to read it seriously)
Thank you very much for coming to the curry party I am hosting today.
I have prepared a special dinner to express my daily gratitude.
It is a special curry packed with natural spiny lobster.
It is a super luxurious spiny lobster curry.
I, Wataro, am serving as the chef.
Please enjoy it until the very last spoonful!
Yeah.
It's not that I can't read it.
But it is hard to read, isn't it?
Are you ChatGPT? You.
The effect of the comma is immense.
In other words, you trade readability for a sense of speed.
You must face this disadvantage.
⭕️ Short sentences solve everything
What is the solution to this disadvantage?
It is short sentences.
End them abruptly.
Don't make them read. Instead, show them.
Short sentences are understood at a glance.
Therefore, you don't need commas.
To create a sense of speed, end with short sentences.
And fire them off in succession.
You can write powerful, speedy text.
