Quote:Rubio stages font coup: Times New Roman ousts Calibri

WASHINGTON, Dec 9 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Tuesday ordered diplomats to return to using Times New Roman font in official communications, calling his predecessor Antony Blinken's decision to adopt Calibri a "wasteful" diversity move, according to an internal department cable seen by Reuters.

The department under Blinken in early January 2023 had switched to Calibri, a modern sans-serif font, saying this was a more accessible font for people with disabilities because it did not have the decorative angular features and was the default in Microsoft products.

A cable dated December 9 sent to all U.S. diplomatic posts said that typography shapes the professionalism of an official document and Calibri is informal compared to serif typefaces.

"To restore decorum and professionalism to the Department’s written work products and abolish yet another wasteful DEIA program, the Department is returning to Times New Roman as its standard typeface," the cable said.

Typefaces with serifs are objectively more readable than those without.

I don't care what woke-funded studies say; I am right and they are wrong.

I have to say i do prefer the "Times New Roman" font as opposed to others.

At the end of the day, it's just preference.

I had some really draconian lectures back in the day that were font nazis.

Only willing to accept essays and reports in the preferred font.

Not really an issue for me, but other people, quite frankly, found them to be a pain in the arse.

I am not a fan of serifs. I find them annoying. 

I use Arial and Calibri mostly. 

This is what my taxes are paying for?

Here's Donald's lettering of choice. What wasteful font is this? How much did taxpayers fork out for all that new gold decorations. Of course they have to pretend to be saving taxpayer dollars. Don't get fooled again.

No! It is a matter of objective truth!

And freedom of the press should not apply to kerning errors.

Have some standards, man!

Yes that is an abomination. That is the font they use for the Champaign Room at strip clubs.

Perhaps inadvertently appropriate?

Are there golden dancing poles in that ballroom too?

Pot, meet kettle.

 
Quote:Taxpayers have been hit with a hefty, multimillion-dollar price tag to renovate Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s mansion on the grounds of Rideau Hall in recent years.
Renovations at Rideau Cottage, the mansion where Trudeau has lived since being elected in 2015, cost taxpayers more than $5 million between 2016-17 and 2023-24, according to access-to-information records obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
“While there were multimillion-dollar renos being done to Trudeau’s mansion, housing prices have doubled for most ordinary working Canadians,” said Kris Sims, CTF Alberta Director. “Trudeau needs to explain why this cost taxpayers so much.”
Last year, renovations at Rideau Cottage cost taxpayers $1.3 million.

In order to be sure to not miss anyone, I'd suggest any official document from any country should be in braille. No compromise.

Instead of language, we should just 'dance'. There you have it, then everything will definitely be a huge play.

And then, look at how their 'AI' react to that.
As far as the apple tree is concerned, there's probably not much difference between a worm and a human...
