its also cool to be able to see a book published like this, and I completely agree with Butterick that more books should transition to using the web as a book publishing medium (and not ebooks controlled by apple/amazon, but the independent web)

For those complaining about the author asking for money occasionally and advertising his fonts -- read the ending. It makes a lot of sense. Vote with your wallet and help content creators be able to make quality stuff.

Sorry about vomiting all these notes; this isn't really a review. I'm just trying to learn.

ebooks are monetized by companies and even epub doesn't have formatting options, and pdfs are better but still tied to the past and physical pages, therefore more books should be web-based

use the ellipse character rather than typing three dots with spaces inbetween

The style is very snarky and modern, yet still isn't completely clear enough to read too quickly.

if you use system fonts, choose from the excellent A list here: https://practicaltypography.com/syste...

the formats commonly required in institutions are dumb (based off typewriter habits) and when you can, follow the advice in this typography instead of a few strict rules (12 pt times new roman double spaced, bleh, not optimally legible); white space is a construct

either indent paragraphs or separate with line breaks (not both)
