:Well, it does if it approaches (<~2x?) the width of a single typical 12pt word. And further when it reduces down to demanding hyphens for the longest words. But, yes, such effects are so smeared out that there'd be a rare (non-zero) chance of re-wrapping making the rate increase go wild (and unusually static for a long while).

::Since the width stays constant, we can ignore its size in area increase calculations. We also know the width of the Atlantic is huge compared with a 12pt word. ~ Megan <sup>she</sup>/<sub>her</sub> <sup>[[user talk:megan|talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[special:contribs/megan|contribs]]</sub> 15:19, 20 July 2023 (UTC) | ::Since the width stays constant, we can ignore its size in area increase calculations.

− | :::Ummm... The point is that the width is ''not'' constant. It's increasing. But I thought you'd realised that the point was not the massive ''instantaneous'' width(s), as differently defined at different latitudes, 'merely' the imperceptible ''increase''s of width at all latitudes that sum together as being the space for the increasing number of words that would flow between these expanding margins.

What we can ignore is how many actual words any actual area will contain, we're looking at just the new words possible from just the new area (very very thin but very very tall) that's added.
