Or 20 and out, or 3X length, whichever comes first? We just need a better system than someone just randomly starting a new sentence. ---

Either way works for me. 20 and out would be easier to track. ---

Let’s try 20 and see how it works. If it feels like there’s still good play left after 20 we can always choose a higher number later on if that seems reasonable. Here’s the next sentence: Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. _Question_ not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. ---

So that’s three votes for 20 and out. Anyone else? ---
