I can't because for some reason, Mac and Gmail don't get along. Everyone's telling me that it's because of the formatting of the page. In either case, when I select all from the webpage, copy it and paste it into Text Edit, I can't read it properly. If I use the uparrow, it'll bring me to a certain point and then start from the beginning again. I can't go word by word either. It's very strange and only happens with certain pages, Livejournal being the second one I've noticed.
