Comment on Funny how we see the world in landscape, but live it mostly in portrait.
WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoText in a book is horizontal
on your phone too, but it is still in a vertical rectangle of view
also an opened book is most often wider than tall
but most often you are only observing a single page, don’t you?
I think OP’s point is not about the shape or layout of things, but the “rectangle of view” or “bounding box” or whatever.

You’re only observing a single page, which is taller than wide, but you’re also only observing a single word, which is generally wider than tall.
