P.S. Zvi suggests “You GET about five words” and I also like that. Would encourage Ray to seriously think about the alternative then pick which one seems best to him.
I currently am neutral between “have” and “get”, but prefer “have” just because changing a post title on a whim makes it harder to find. If most people preferred “get” I’d be happy to change.
If it were easy to make elicit things, I’d post one here for people to give a probability that “You get about five words” is better than “You have about five words”. Would appreciate someone doing that.
I prefer “get”. It implies more strongly that if someone actually needs to convince others of their argument, they need to make sure their message is as concise and optimized as possible, before trying to convince anyone. As the original post says:
What if you need all that nuance and to coordinate thousands of people?

You still only get five words.
