# its not filesize buggery that bothers me
its people not playing the B3ta game that everyone else happily abides by.

So it's more a general dislike of arrogance and slapdashery.

# Because the words are different lengths so you can see how proper text of different word lengths will look with diferent justifications
instead of it all being words of a certain length.

I think.

# Also, the words
are all different lengths because from just looking over the text in a glancing fashion, it appears as if it's proper written English
(or whatever language may be popular at the time) therefore making it seem more completed than it actually is.
