Exclamation The Best Thing in the World

is typing a paper in 11 font, and then when you're nearly done switching it to 12 font and double spacing and being so close to finished!

I usually type in 10 point font simply because I hate 12 point. It just seems too big. Stupid APA format.

Courier new 11 point actually takes up more space than Times New Roman 12 point.

I forgot how to do my font tags I used to type constantly back in the day DOES THIS WORK?


Apparently none of this is working in the first place because my linux based firefox doesn't recognize these fonts.

I used to use Courier New all the time on papers but in APA format you have to use stupid Times New Roman. At least I don't have to use some stupid sans serif font like Arial.

What does "sans serif" mean pale blue eyes?

I dislike the way TNR looks, I much prefer the monospaced glory of courier.

Serifs are those little things on the edge of letters. I know there is a better way to describe them but thing is all I am coming up with at the moment.

Sans serif fonts:
Arial
Tahoma


Fonts with serifs:
Courier New
Times New Roman

I guess you could say fonts with serifs look fancier or something. Like a old time newspaper font.

yeah i always write papers in single space because when i double space at the end it usually takes up a little more room than if you just doubled the amount of pages you already had it.

Plus serifs are easier to read because it makes the letters flow together.

That sounds like a really satisfying action. I should've tried that yesterday.
