    Were you sitting down when you wrote that 😀

    I get your frustration, (fr me its when people and programs use font, really its a typeface, and font is something else) but people have moved on, 3rd world now means No Healthcare, lack of education, contaminated water, etc. And the USA is moving into that realm.

      Ha, and I actually used to know the difference between typeface and font, but my memory of graphic design classes has waned a bit since 2005 when I took that program in college, so I had to look it up and refresh myself, full disclosure. More to the point - I think we can both agree that USA is democratically backsliding. Part of that is a lack of education being trusted by many. If we can’t even remember what terms like First and Second World were supposed to mean, it just feeds into the misinformation maelstrom that produces far-right types calling anything exhibiting human decency “communist”, “woke”, or other inaccurate terms meant to belittle them.
