We are academics, DAMMIT!

Oh my god, why do people write academic papers and responses in Comic Sans? If they must write in Comic Sans, is it then really necessary to bold it, and make every paragraph a different color? We are students in University, dammit, be professional!

It hurt my brain to look at it. :(

What? I am all for making a mockery of things but somehow I don't think font choice and color are the way to do it.

I just don't get it- her response was perfectly intelligent and well-researched, and then she went and posted it in multicolored Comic Sans? What? Why? I don't get it!

Making people say what and why is rewarding to some people. I now get it totally. Unless of course there is just something wrong with her and she didn't do it to just mess with people.

What really threw me was not the comic sans, not even the bold, but that paragraph color thing... Seriously a different color for every paragraph?! My mind is now completely shutting down. Which is quite a feat after it was completely busted after having to listen to Whitney Houston for at least 45 minutes. Damn!

It really did hurt to look at it, my eyes were straining after two paragraphs. And then! Every response to other posts was done the same way! WHY?!
