I have looked at a lot of alternate forms of reading and methods that assist in better and faster learning and remembering. Most take some degree of effort and repetition before they are integrated into routine. This method of bolding half of each word provided an immediately-noticeable increase in reading speed and comprehension and retention of what was read.
I wonder if CSS on the site could be used to automatically convert the first/first few letters of every word into being bold-lettered. It would be interesting as an option that could be enabled.
(Edit: As AOU noted, the text in this comment above this edit looks broken while Bionic Reading is enabled on-site as I had manually bolded part of each word as an example of what BR might look like on poal if it were an option.)

That's an interesting idea. Feel free to submit it in /s/IdeasForPoal.

Did it manually, but wasn't too bad. I first tried to select a few letters of text and then click the icon to make it bold, but I quickly found that It was faster to manually add the asterisks.
I hit two asterisks, hit the right arrow about half the letters of the word and hit two more asterisks. Hit ctrl+right arrow to go to the next word and repeated.
It only took maybe a minute or so to add in all of the boldings after initially writing out the comment.
I now see it would have been faster still to combine the two methods and hover the cursor over the bold button, then shift+arrow to highlight letters, click to make bold, ctrl+arrow to skip to next word, repeat.

If you have ever looked at one of those sites that shows you asked reading where they do the words on the screen real fast you would be surprised how fast you can read. The trick is to change you reading so that you bypass the voice in your head reading the word to you. It is almost like those magic eye posters and you relax your eyes a little too just flow over the words. You brain pills that shit in automatically. It is pretty crazy. It was kind of like on www.swiftread.com but without the color letter but it has been many years.

I already read so fast I can't tell if it makes a difference.

It's easy to read fast when you don't understand the words.

That was cool. My father could read vertically down the sides of a book. He told me he started training his vision to do that with newspaper articles. And then progressed to longer sentences, he stared only in the middle of the line, and read straight down the page. Reading with his peripheral vision on the sides. Basically taking snapshots of each line.

I was too busy trying to decode a message to actually read it. I was a little disappointed when I found no mention of filthy kikes.
