I'm loving the textcelerator! Also, I've been feeling a bit insecure about my reading speed, but this thing says that I'm 400+ when I don't feel that I'm reading quickly so I'm pretty happy about that. Also, I think it's brilliant that it highlights words of negation (though there are some other tricky words that would probably be worth highlighting because they change the meaning of the sentence e.g. though, however, despite, etc).

I was also planning on writing more to improve my retention of information. Please keep me updated on your progress.
