No you're not odd at all; with word-wrap off you greatly reduce thumb
scroll.

Wordy sites should probably offer users optional word-wrap.

I too used to prefer word-boundary line breaks (I assume this is what
we're really talking about here), but I found that over a couple of
months I got quite used to reading English without them, and now I even
prefer that everything just wrap at the right margin, ignoring word
boundaries. (You get more text on the screen that way.)

Has this happened to anybody else, or am I just rather odd?
