18. the long blank underlined space forces one to visualize a long word

and even had i not seen it, i would have said mississippi river

[arwalden]

23. Interesting Observation...

... but what about the people with large mental "handwriting"? They might visualize a small word but with BIG lettes that would easily fill in the space provided. If the blank were too small, they might be forced to visualize a short 3 letter word. :-)

Actually nothing is being suggested... I just randomly typed spaces until I had a line about an inch long on my monitor. This time it was a total of 8 spaces.
