5. I actually counted once.
Because I saw someone, maybe it was you, get creamed by him for not putting in the right number.


:rofl:

If DU didn't use a sans serif typeface, it would be a no brainer.

6. Rabrrrrrr does not get spelled in a serif font, blasphemer!!
Actually, I wish DU would go to a serif-based system. So much easier to read. So much easier on the eyes.

7. No kidding.
Did you know that thanks to desktop publishing, some children's textbooks, including first grade readers are published in a sans serif font?

I was appalled when I found out. Went to the School Board meetings and everything.

Trouble was, no one had any idea what I was talking about and the price was right, so voila.

And, they wonder why Johnny can't read.

I actually printed a couple of the take home booklets in Times Roman for a friend of mine who teaches first grade and she was astounded at how the 'slow' readers caught on.

It's a shame, really, because it is such a little thing.

8. And I think of all the churches that love their sans serif fonts...
I hadn't realized they were even printing children's textbooks in sans serif fonts.

What assholes.

But even some novels and full books are being printed in sans serif fonts - drives me fucking batshit crazy. I know I have at least one novel. But I also have a shitload of larger books - mostly computer/technical, some scholarly...

:grr:

There's no reason for it.

And people wonder why I think American Idol is such a bad thing.

10. Six. I counted them once, to be sure.
Could've counted wrong I suppose.

11. I think it depends on the day of the week.
And the zodiac sign of the person spelling the name.

But I could be wrong.
