Just to clarify, I did not mean the word order literally, I meant
someone who reads English knows to start on the left page at the top
and work through the sentences in order. Other languages may be
completely different even exactly backwards. German is interesting
because they combine words into long words. (01)
The point is more the relationship between reader and writer. Whether
these are multiple people or multiple computers. A preferred or
required sequence of understanding. (02)
As to favorite or most difficult words, skimming and parsing correct? (03)
