It's not always a readable length. Long lines are much harder to read, |
| 8 |
that's why newspapers use columns. The accepted width was generally |
| 9 |
considered to be 2.5 to 3.5 alphabets (not characters because of |
| 10 |
proportional type) which matches up rather nicely with the 70-odd |
| 11 |
character generally recommended for mail. |
