We hope it's not too rude to hop on over here to ask, but since you're a helpful resource on text readability, we wondered if we could ask you if you think drop caps aid or hinder the readability of a text block in any way? We're trying to ask some dyslexic friends and acquaintences for input on this.

For now, the text change is just on the main site. If we like it, we'll port it over to the story pages as well.

We've been using justified-aligned text for our 'site because we're anxious about neatness and had "justified is industry standard" drilled into us in college. But . . . we're going to try ragged left for a little bit, and see if we're okay with that. So far for the moment, it at least doesn't feel bad. That's nice. We know this is more accessible anyway.

I personally think they do hinder the readability since they (for me) visually detatch the first letter of a word from that word. but as long as its not like every paragraph i think it should be fine! ^^ it just might take a second longer to read
also no worries at all!! im open to questions ^^
