Do you hate me, TVC?

You're the one that called me a dick or whatever. I just thought you did something ridiculous and worthy of ribbing.

I decided to switch to the Century font for handout-related purposes. Rejoice, fuckers.

Why don't you open Word and check? Yes, it's seriffed.

I guess Century is okay if you don't mind horrendous ampersands. The serif on the last part of the stroke is so inadequate that it's easily laughable.

Jesus Christ. I never use ampersands in my handouts anyway.

I'm not drawing them...or writing them...I'm typing on a computer, for one.

Second of all, the legitimate use of the ampersand is so limited, I don't want students getting into the bad habit of using it as a substitute for "and" in any written text.

I don't even consider it as english if it's not in Frutiger Next. That ampersand is tighter than Corny's ass.

It's not Century Gothic or Twentieth Century. It's just plain Century.

I think evilbore should have a board dedicated to fonts, it would probably get more posts than the gaming board.

Looks like a backwards B to me. But then again, I have proven myself to be a typography ignoramus.

It is a throwback to like, pre-16th century. An ampersand is technically supposed to be a shorthand representation of et.

Ichirou · « **Reply #32 on:** July 06, 2007, 02:27:30 AM »

Oh, I get it. It's supposed to be like a capital E and a small t together.

That's a shortcut in handwriting. I don't really understand why people do that, or the backwards 3 struck vertically. Drawing an ampersand is fun.

Yes, but you should learn how to draw them. It's fun! Shortcuts in handwriting are understandable, though. I use a hacked up form of shorthand when I have to.

Oh I can draw a proper ampersand, and I used to use them in my handwriting, but I like the backwards-3-with-a-vertical-line-through-it more for some reason. Suits me better or something.

Oh I can draw a proper ampersand, and I used to use them in my handwriting. I just like the aforementioned alternate version more.
