Font of ignorance

Last month, after I posted the doorway exchange on Comic Sans, I did a little research.
It seems there’s quite the passionate campaign to ban Comic Sans.

The movement (if you will) is going on for 13 years, now, dedicated to the proposition that a typeface should be in accord with & support the message it is communicating.

I certainly agree with the principle, but I doubt it will succeed in turning the tide of people unacquainted with spelling, grammar, punctuation or other fundamentals of language who think that because Microsoft gave them a couple dozen fonts they’re free to slap anything up on the page they feel like.
