Jess- God luck Tuesday night- you'll be fine. I would love to come and listen, but at the time you are reading, i am writing stats midterm- but you'll be fine :)

Yay, Courier New! I think we should bring it back!

It's Make Fun of Jess Night!

On Tuesday this week my Write 494 (poetry) will be doing a read at 7pm. That's right, a poetry reading. Anyone still listening? Cool. So it's at Martini's Bar and Grill at 9910 109 St. I've been told that all you have to do is get on the LRT, get off at Grandin and you're practically there. I'm guessing we will be done by 9, so it's a measley two hours of your time. Also, I read third so you could be out of there by 7:20. But there are some very talented people in my class so I'd definately recommend staying.

And you're not actually allowed to make fun of me because I'm really nervous.

So come out, it'll be a good time. And it beats studying.

didn't they say he can't read?
or maybe can't read well, that'd explain it...
don't wanna change things now, it'd be too hard to get him used to a new font

i still loved the bumper stickers in the states:
a "no W" sign like the no parking sign, only W instead of P hmm... who could that be about?

Day job: Cold blooded killer

Night job: Reading to sick children at hospital

Whats your job?

Hello fdsfd,

Welcome to this message board... how did you find us? Was it the numerous random aliases i have been using? Did you search for Mike O'Neal? Fleet Strike? Owen Lowes Jr?... Hope you enjoy your stay.

Hello fdsfd!

US bans timed-honored typeface from diplomatic correspondence

WASHINGTON (AFP) - In a sign that no matter is too small to affect international
diplomacy, the US State Department has issued an edict banning its longtime
standard typeface from all official correspondence and replacing it with a "more
modern" font.

In an internal memorandum distributed on Wednesday, the department declared
"Courier New 12" -- the font and size decreed for US diplomatic documents for
years -- to be obsolete and unacceptable after February 1.

"In response to many requests and with a view to making our written work easier
to read, we are moving to a new standard font: 'Times New Roman 14'," said the
memorandum, a copy of which was obtained by AFP on Thursday.

The new font "takes up almost exactly the same area on the page as Courier New 12,
while offering a crisper, cleaner, more modern look," it said, adding that after
February 1 "only Times New Roman 14 will be accepted."

"This applies to diplomatic notes," the memorandum said tersely.

There are only three exceptions to the draconian new typographical rules: telegrams,
treaty materials prepared by the State Department's legal affairs office and
documents drawn up for the president's signature, it said.

The memorandum offered no explanation for the exceptions, leaving foreign service
officers to speculate as to whether the White House, US treaty partners and
telegram readers are not yet able to handle the change.
