> One minute page loads on mobile (looking at you, CNN) lite.cnn.com is their text only subdomain. Probably meant for accessibility, but since it's only text it loads quickly and is very pleasant to use.
"Good" or "bad" writing cannot be decided in vacuum: it is decided by the culture examining it. One example is cliched writing. Things become cliche as they are get overused; no amount of cleverness in the cliche itself…

The grip isn't part of the hammer, but it's reasonable to replace it if it's uncomfortable to hold and use.

For real, the "Claudish" has become so painful to read that it just takes me out of whatever task I was working on. When prompted to use simple English without jargon, it's still filled with load bearing honest caveats…

Yeah, it's pretty awful that Facebook has made it such a demanding task.
