We learn more from reading on paper than on screens.

54 studies, 171k people: we process print more deeply than digital content—as long as it's informational rather than purely narrative.

The paper advantage holds across ages and has grown over time. Long live physical books.

"The Canadians might be minor league, but they possess what one fan told me was 'a hold on Vancouver’s heart' — a sentiment I heard repeatedly during my visit," the columnist Kurt Streeter writes. https://t.co/5yzimOh71P

What's it like to work as a professional editor? We asked three experienced working editors for their thoughts on their chosen career. Here's what they had to say.

This is Walter. He can't believe you want him to stop chewing on this cardboard box. You literally threw it away. 12/10

[WeRateDogs @dog_rates]

This is Hugo. You said that a cup of coffee was the most important part of your day, and he took that personally. 13/10

[David Moscrop @David_Moscrop]

Writers who overuse semicolons in their younger days become writers who overuse em dashes later.

It’s me—I’m writers.

[Rachelle Kanefsky @rkanefsky]

@fabulavancouver Went through the same. I use a Pierre Belvedere
one now that I quite like.
