I have come to realize that the little things matter in our communication. For example, the clothes we wear communicates information about ourselves without ever saying a word.
I think the same can be said for print. We need to be careful of the font that we use. Fonts must be uncommon and interesting for them to actually be an effective font — and when used properly fonts can make the world a better place. That’s why I am beginning the “Campaign for Better Font Usage.” The primary thrust of this campaign is to increase the usage of the Comic Sans font – which is now available on an Apple Computer. To help, immediately begin using the Comic Sans font on everything — except on your homework assignments.
Do you think a teacher or professor actually wants to read a 10 page report in “Times New Roman” or “Arial”? How boring. For research papers in college its best to use a script font – you know – one that’s in cursive. A cursive font will give your research paper that extra “bling” that would be sure to get you an A.

I think I’d have to agree with Abby!!! on that one. I mean, seriously dude. You can’t play with my emotions on a thing as serious as font types. That was a cruel, cruel joke.
