Haha! That is so amusing! It's pretty true though.
And yea, typography rules :D

[elli.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes!!! There is so much good tyopgraphy.. awesome fonts and people continue to feel the need to be that medicore.. brrrr....

[therailway.livejournal.com]

Yeah! My teacher sometimes uses Bradley Hand for worksheets to make them look "handwritten" too! Crazy. Sadly to say, loads of my friends are still using Curlzzzz and Comic sans in msn ;p
http://bancomicsans.com/ <-- this is awesome! Lol.

[elli.livejournal.com]

Ouch!!!! That sounds painful... and there are better handwritten fonts than bradley!

[scout27.livejournal.com]

Ahh I love reading the funny early on a Friday morning!
Sadly, I still have some of those fonts on my computer. I really need to go through my fonts and get rid of some of them huh?! They're just taking up space considering I only use like two!

[elli.livejournal.com]

Well..that isn't actually sad, considering those are system fonts. :)

And you should try out more fonts then.-.. funfunfun!!!

[brague.livejournal.com]

Lol!

I don't know about the rest of the fonts but Comic Sans MS is so overused! I hate that font. Teachers also like to use it on tests to make them look more friiiiiiiiiendddllyy XD (oh please!)

[cerri44.livejournal.com]

wait till you get into university- most times the font is okay, but you get drawings of little duckies on a pont on your fluid mechanics exam

[elli.livejournal.com]

aww... you don't like the duckies`??

[cerri44.livejournal.com]

they were just teasing me, knowing I didn't know anything about why they're pond was still full of water instead of drying up - they were evil duckies... someof us thought that we might get bonuspoints if we coloured the pics... but we didn't :(

[elli.livejournal.com]

so the ducks are misleading...pfft!

[cerri44.livejournal.com]

eeeeeeevil duckiiiiieeeeees

[elli.livejournal.com]

It's not that it's overused what is bothering me. It's that is looks crappy, and childish and not professional at all and that anyone is using it as a marketing tool is beyond me.. seriously, I have clients who use it for their logo, their letters, their E-Mails. Scary!!!! But yeah :)

[cerri44.livejournal.com]

lolz :D awww... I know them all... I think i did a test on a fontsite once, to see what font-type I am and it said Curlz... make of that what you want ^.^ - and hey, AOL-users actually do use Comic Sans... I was always throughing a hissy-fit when some girly girl showed up with it in pink in one of my chatrooms... okay, not sometimes.. but sometimes... I got a bad temper... ehem...

my headphones are broken:( someone will pick it up on tuesday... tuuuuuesday... and then I'll get them back when? in 3 weeks???? grmpf... bought a cheap headset... the sound is all wrong... meeeeeeeh *cries*

[cerri44.livejournal.com]

not sometimes.. but sometimes...

I can't think without my headphones on... not always, but sometimes is what I was trying to say...

[elli.livejournal.com]

mmmm.... so you will bebrainless for a few weeks ;)

[cerri44.livejournal.com]

i want my headphones!

damn, changing my sleeping rhythm again, wasn't good... i went to bed before two, which was good... but i was awake again at 6.30, and slept again from 8-4pm -.- and now my back hurts like hell... graaaaah


btw - remind me, did you watch doctor who?

[elli.livejournal.com]

aol users are restarted... the browse on the aol broswer... which is one of the shittiest browsers ever!!!

Pink Comic Sans!!!!!!!omg!!! tghe Devil has arrived!!!!!

[cerri44.livejournal.com]

what are you trying to say to me? i've been with aol for years... i've been a fucking aol-scout!

[aisling12.livejournal.com]

Oh my god so true

And Papyrus is a pet peeve of mine. Papyrus should ONLY be used if you are printing flyers for your Egyptian themed party. It shows up everywhere!! I think the show Medium even used it as a font. Why do people abuse it so much? Why????????

[elli.livejournal.com]

It's just... most people don't know how to properly use font.. AT ALL.
And there are so many good examples on how to do it!!! I mean.. are they blind?

Very very scary!!!!!1 My clients sometimes use comic sans in emails!!

[diet.livejournal.com]

-dies- This is bloody awesome. XD
Although I have to admit -- I love Papyrus. :P

[elli.livejournal.com]

lol..you are a scary woman!!

[diet.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha! Why? Papyrus looks so old fashioned! Hee. I like using it to type out quotes.

[elli.livejournal.com]

to type out quotes?? you mean like..for blockquote.-.or on graphics?

*isconfused*

[diet.livejournal.com]

-lol- No. I have a collage of photos and quotes pasted on my wall. I like to use different fonts for different quotes, and I've used Papyrus a few times. Rage Italic is pretty good too.

*hides behind something really big*
To be honest, I think I'm still using comic sans on icq...

Just another evidence for the bad taste I have sometimes.

But I think it is still better than using Curlz MT, that's really showing off and the best way to make sure that nobody can read what you have written.

Just checked, but my lj is free and untouched by those evil fonts.

1:1 in the eternal battle of good vs. bad taste. Not all hope is lost.

You are a bad bad person. We need to suck the devil out of you...or something.... *giggles*

[http://users.livejournal.com/red_moon_/]

You are a bad bad person.

Guilty of all charges! But I've made amends - I have changed the font! So now, I have a clean record.


We need to suck the devil out of you... or something.... *giggles*

Sounds like a good plan *lol*
