2018 Study

The 2018 study that was in the lede was quoted incorrectly. As written, it was a conclusive statement about the readability of double sentence spacing attributed to the study's authors. However, the quote actually came from the secondary source that cited the study. And the author of that Forbes secondary source said it in jest, which is apparent when reading past the first paragraph in the article.^[1] The title of the Forbes article (below) also contradicts the quote as stated in the lede.

Anyway, the study should be in the article, but seems more appropriate in the "studies" section. So I moved it there and clarified some of the details of the study. It also seems to be a bit like the 2002 Loh, Branch, Shewanown, and Ali which found slight evidence in the opposite direction, but not enough to be significant. I'd say this is a worthy contribution to the literature, but didn't conclude anything in the way it was stated in the lede.--Airborne84 (talk) 02:12, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
