The rise of the font snob. Comic Sans (sans serif) is an informal font packed with Windows. It's quite popular. The WSJ article goes on at length (and with tongue in cheek) about the rise of people/groups who dislike Comic Sans and agitate to stop its use. Wow. Next thing Comic Sans Tea Parties.
It makes me feel old. I used write letters in Comic Sans to the children at summer camp (No email at summer camp). At the time I thought it was a nice informal font trying to look handwritten. The anti Comic Sans rant in the Journal makes me feel totally lacking in proper taste, proper style, and je ne sais quoi.
Actually, Comic Sans still looks pretty good to my untrained eye.
