I'm going to throw up

Gary Wheeler

I've been exchanging e-mails the last couple of days with a hardware engineer in the home office. He uses Comic Sans as the font for his e-mails. In bright blue. X|

The only reason I would do that would be to minimize the correspondence from certain individuals. Thanks for the idea! :-D :thumbsup:

It was broke, so I fixed it.

It could have been pink.

It's a common problem[^] That expanded view after using the search function is extremely irritating.

Just altered my VS2010 Fonts and Colours settings to Comic Sans. Everything still compiles and I get a joyous impression of my code. You've just opened Pandora's box. Not literally, mind.

Gary Wheeler

I don't know which is the worse :wtf:, using a typeface like Comic Sans or using a proportional font for editing code.

You should see what it does for NHibernate xml mapping files. I might have to limit myself to an hour a day. Maybe the hour after lunch, like a digestif perhaps.

This was exactly what I was thinking about :-D

Brilliant idea. I'll be using pink as the foreground-color though :-D

I use Andale Mono as my choice of mono-spaced typeface. When I use it in an email to others on the team it is replaced by some curley/scripty kind of typeface -- this could be what's happening.

Gary Wheeler

Nope, we use :shudder: Lotus Notes :throw-up-in-mouth: for e-mail.

Send emails back using Wingdings and Webdings (be sure to switch between them within each mail), and include a lot of pictures and a background-MIDI file. And use the blink tag whenever you want to highlight something (instead of bolding or italicizing it) If you can't beat them, join them. If he can't join you, beat him :suss:

Where's the <marquee> tag when you need it?

I have unilaterally BANNED Comic Sans in the office. There is a stern talking too, and the waggling of an admonishing finger, for anyone caught using it. (Repeat offenders get an interview without coffee).

Sounds awfully like a Euphemism!

I read all emails as plain-text problem solved.
