Heisig story:

To the right we see a head and to the left an element that means craft. When we think of a paragraph, we immediately think of a heading device to break a text into parts. (Think of the elaborate heads often seen at the start of medieval manuscripts and the task becomes easier still.) Just where and how to do it belongs to the writer's craft. Hence, we define paragraphing as the "heading craft" to remember this character.

Koohii stories:

1) [crazy88] 19-9-2007(237): To write a paragraph is the craft of grouping sentences on a page.

2) [stereovibe] 5-2-2008(115): To craft a page well, we need paragraphs.

3) [martinirwin] 2-12-2007(45): Page and craft = pacraft -> paracraft; said properly as paragraph.

4) [libsrone] 15-1-2009(23): Well, I tried using craft and headings and pages and none of it stuck, so: Reading a block of text that isn't broken down into paragraphs makes me want to hit myself in the head with an I-beam.

5) [therapysessions] 3-1-2009(14): A well CRAFTED PAGE is full of beautiful PARAGRAPHS.
