perfect rectangular writing

I rewrite my paragraphs so that the last line fits the full width.

  For me it is more of a ‘preferred scenario’.., but I can appreciate how easily this could become ‘compulsive’.. it kinda feels as though the sentence is incomplete otherwise…….

  this is funny and cute. i know it doesn’t work in every program but there is a way to justify text to fit a column if you simply must. remeber though, white space is better design and easier to read!

  I’m the opposite. I cannot have a paragraph end like that. It drives me nuts.

  ya, i’m with ryan, i have to have like two words on the last line. it helps to recognize the end of the paragraph and the start of a new one.

  I agree with ryan and ben… I’m afraid people won’t understand if I all of a sudden have a line tabbed. I have to end the paragraph 1/4 of the way into the line so that it is obviously the end of the paragraph. I adjust the text size and font and add words like “very” so that all paragraphs end at the same place.
