Comment from my Inner Editor:
"Made by my family and I in the USA."
should be:
"Made by my family and me in the USA."
The quick litmus test is to remove references to other(s) and see if the first person pronoun sounds right while referring only to yourself.

Walls of text—large blocks of unbroken writing—are indeed harder to read. This is due to several cognitive and design factors that affect how we process written information.

Why Walls of Text Are Harder to Read

1. Cognitive Load and Visual Fatigue

Our brains are wired to seek patterns and breaks in information. When confronted with a dense block of text, the lack of visual cues like paragraph breaks increases cognitive load, making it more challenging to process and retain information. This can lead to quicker fatigue and disengagement, especially on digital devices where screen sizes vary.

2. Impaired Comprehension and Recall

Research indicates that properly paragraphed text enhances readers’ ability to organize ideas and identify main points. In contrast, unbroken text hampers these strategies, leading to poorer comprehension and recall.

3. Accessibility Challenges

For individuals using screen readers, paragraph breaks are crucial. Without them, the software may misinterpret the structure, reading the entire block as a single sentence, which can confuse users and hinder navigation.

4. Decreased Engagement

Online readers often scan content for key information. Walls of text lack the visual breaks that guide scanning, leading to higher bounce rates as users may feel overwhelmed and leave the page.

5. Reader Preferences

Many readers express a preference for content with clear paragraph breaks, associating unbroken text with poor communication. This sentiment is echoed in various online discussions, where users indicate they are less likely to engage with content that lacks proper formatting.

Best Practices for Readable Writing
  • Use Short Paragraphs: Aim for 3–5 sentences per paragraph to maintain reader interest.
  • Incorporate Subheadings: They help organize content and allow readers to find information quickly.
  • Utilize Lists and Bullet Points: These elements break up text and highlight key points.
  • Ensure Adequate Whitespace: Margins and spacing make content more inviting and less daunting.
  • Write in a Conversational Tone: Engaging language can make content more relatable and easier to digest.

In summary, breaking up text into well-structured paragraphs is essential for readability, comprehension, and user engagement. It’s a simple yet effective way to enhance the accessibility and impact of your writing.
