My comments on the unfortunate letter spacing of Pope Francis’ name on his tombstone published this morning in The New York Times:

A few of you wanted to see Grammarian’s full chalkboard in my last reel, so here it is! The scribblings of a madwoman. Swipe for a walkthrough.

Thanks for lending your handwriting to this! Mine is so bad (but perfect for the Errorist’s messy note at the end of the reel).

Thanks to Catherine Shoichet at CNN for including my font comedy sketch in this wonderful article about the Microsoft default typeface shift!

Is it arguably somewhat ridiculous to get worked up over a font change? Yes. Are a lot of us doing that anyway? Also, yes.
