I guess that's fine, but I have to wonder how many people are really
that lazy. To me, it actually seems like more effort to highlight the
span of characters with the mouse than it does to type them out.

Also, when the work "read" appears twice on a short line like that, it
gives a wordy/redundant feeling.
