Weâre after efficient communication and error prevention. Thirty-three percent is slower, more cumbersome, and more prone to error than 33%. And § 6.4(a) is quicker and more reliable than subdivision (a) of section 6.4.
Although some argue that â§â is alien to the general public and therefore confusing, the general public is likewise probably unfamiliar with the pilcrowâthe backward P with two downstrokes to mark a paragraph: ¶. Even so, people generally have no difficulty with the pilcrow and focus instead on the number that follows it. They see that theyâre reading something with numbered paragraphsâa different kind of writing from what theyâre accustomed to.
The same goes for â§.â Itâs one character, not four (sec.) or seven (section). The cumulative benefit in streamlining is tremendousâand readers no longer have to focus on a full two words, âsection 474,â when the attention should be on a single unit: § 474.
Further, it takes only a few seconds to become accustomed to this abbreviated form. It doesnât tax readers unduly. In fact, it does the opposite: it spares them the trouble of reading empty words.
