Why the fuck is it named spritzing? Online English dictionary doesn't even list this word, and it surely has a very different meaning in German, lol.

I haven't found a single legit use for this on a computer yet. Spritzlet, more like Bjordlet.
Meaning lies as much
in the mind of the reader
as in the Haiku.

Yeah well, thinking about it, Spritze and spritzen could be related to this, but there are better words in German that would fit.

Hate this shit, it's made for fggts like Bjord. Subvocalization is strong in me and while reading words at high wpm I feel like I've set fast forward mode to x8. It just sucks and doubt it has any practical usage. You certainly won't memorize better if you go through words with such tenacity. Maybe if you have eidetic memory, but only few posses that trait.

No one has an eidetic memory.

joe states its jack that anyone can run 100m under 10 seconds,  because he himself barely runs them in 15.


Yes, I know from whence I came! Discontented as a flame, Upon myself I live and glow. All I grasp like lightning flashes, All I leave behind is ashes
Flame I am - that much I know!

This is still basically an exercise. Which I assume, is ment to be beneficial to your readingskill in the long run. As in, you shouldnt really use it, to read a book you were trying to finish or homework you were trying to understand. Mybe just put some short story in there and try that. Cause yeah, it kills the enjoyement of reading and I dont know about the rest of you internet geniuses, but in my case if I read some stuff that has a lot of technical info in it, from which I have to start making some logical connection, my eyes and brain have to go back and forth between the lines in the page for me to fully grasp that info and create that connection.
