Comic Sans is an awesome font. People act like it is an attack on their eyes, but harder to read fonts make information easier to retain: http://www.futurity.org/hard-to-read-fonts-easier-to-retain/

A quote from that: "Those who read about the aliens in an easy-to-read font (16-point Arial pure black) answered correctly 72.8 percent of the time, compared to 86.5 percent of those who reviewed the material in hard-to-read fonts (12-point Comic Sans MS or Bondoni MT in a lighter shade)."

Comic sans is one thing, an extremely light cursive script is another. It's not hard to read, it's impossible.

Plus eleventy. I wanted to read it but couldn't after a couple of paragraphs. It forced me to look into how I can adjust fonts to my liking, which isn't something you want as an author. So annoyed, much confusion

I just read it, so it isn't impossible.

[tedunangst]

I stand corrected.

It's not hard to read though. It's just overused, misused, and only serves to annoy typograpy nerds

Not just comic sans. It's that dog, the image, the meme too. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the author said "what can I do that will irritate people the most".

I'm partially complaining because it irritated me (out of selfishness), but mostly saying "why would you do that?" (out of curiosity).

>why would you do that?

Why not?

Just because the personality of the author disagrees with your sensibilities you have to appose them to the point other people have to read a comment concerning your self irritation to the authors style of presentation.

If you feel content shouldn't be on this website you can downvote it.

Edit1: Don't flag on-topic subjects (sorry mods)

I thought it had been done intentionally to make a point. Maybe I'm wrong and the author just likes dogs and comic sans. I thought it was an interesting avenue for discussion.

Why do you associate my asking questions with wanting to censor things? I don't. I'm perfectly happy with this page being on the web and this discussion existing.

I just thought it would be interesting to find out why it is the way it is.

>Why do you associate my asking questions with wanting to censor things?

I challenge your need to share selfish pointless opinions that don't contribute to the subject matter at hand. But then in a way I do advocate censorship, namely that of your off topic opinions.

Careful with the flags. By all means flag off-topic stuff but don't flag on-topic stuff of the site because you don't like it.
