Spaced

I know a few people like this, some right here on good ol' LJ.



I had to say, this made me laugh, mainly because I notice such things myself.

Me too. Yes that is very much me. Occupational hazard from my time as an editor.

I had to look up kerning. I wonder what it was in my childhood that led to the things I get twitchy about. People who chew with their mouth open, bad grammar, etc.

Took me a second, but yeah, uneven spacing between letters.

I get anal about this as I type as I tend to notice that odd extra blank space between words where I've accidentally hit the space bar one time too many...

if this one is what it's all about? http://type.method.ac/ the total accuracy from one LETTER to the next? Egads!

I wish there was a "like" button on this.

I majored in graphic design, so yeah, I'd call the design police on this one.

Spelling, grammar, bad fonts and kerning. Yeah. I have a list of them.

But I'm not one of those that complains that someone uses Arial instead of Helvetica...


Cute cartoon. I know people that wouldn't get it even if they looked up kerning.

OMG, I just learned a new word - thank you! Though the funny thing is that I've been practicing kerning for years, just one of the routine aspects of proper typography and calligraphy.
Another thing that annoys me: cabinet doors or drawers left open unnecessarily ...I can't resist closing them.
