14. Reading & comprehending are two different things
  1. You're much more likely to actually retain new information, when it's presented to you in a way that's already familiar. You've probably noticed that trying to read a paper from another subject seems foreign and hard to do. But then as you get used to the basic terms and nuances of the subject, it gets easier to understand.
    1. TYPOGLYCEMIA : the principle that readers can comprehend text despite spelling errors and misplaced letters in the words.
      1. Making your work easier to read and comprehend:
        1. The Flesh-Kincaid Formula: Used to calculate the readability of text.
          1. USE HELPFUL HEADLINES
            1. Headlines give your audience clues as to the type of information they can expect. This helps them feel more at ease, and allows them to anticipate what's coming next. Sort of like how we watch the same shows all the time. It's because it makes us feel comfortable. There's no surprises. Headlines and Titles help us do that in writing.
            2. THE INFO REMEMBERED IS DEPENDS ON THE PERSON
              1. Basically, what you remember is based on your context. If you want people of all different backgrounds and influences to take away certain points from your presentation, you're going to have to help them out. Give them some help by including direction within your writing.
