I know... I'm trying to be more accepting and not get irritated by such things. It may sound silly to get annoyed by a font, but the perfectionist inside of me just can't accept picking the most available font. I actually spend a lot of time choosing/researching fonts for my slides and documents.

This strikes me as significant misattribution. There's nothing imperfect about picking a default font because there's no such thing as perfection in design, only individual preferences which change from person to person, context to context, and year to year.

A massive waste of time.

>Maybe it's just me, but it genuinely disgusts me to see Calibri because it's not crispt and has some of the worst curvatures I've seen on a font.

>crispt

As a perfectionist who admits to getting wrapped around the axle about inconsequential things like font choices, do typos make you similarly upset?


Maybe it's because I just watched all of those SNL skits but this cracked me up. Hopefully GP was being satirical.


Depends on the context. In a book, yes. On the internet, not that much.
