A three-for-one:

1) Bad typography

2) When the aspect ratio on the TV screen is set to the wrong format

3) People who don't "get" something and therefore act like you're making shit up or getting upset/excited/interested for no reason because you do.

Combine to form:

A) people who make fun of you like you're some delicate Princess and the Pea precious flower when you say the aspect ratio is off and look for a way to change it.

B) people who can't perceive bad typography, and people who think you're being ridiculously insufferable when you look at this cover:

and say, "Why would anyone think Comic Sans was an appropriate choice?" (And no, it's not a kid's book -- it's high school level.)

Unless they're people you have a good relationship with, there's no way to say, "Look, you don't get bothered by this stuff because you don't understand it" or "...you don't seem to be able to even perceive it," without sounding like a dick.

Maybe whoever chose Comic Sans had heard the "better for dyslexia" myth?

na

why is it a myth? I mean, it always sounded like bullshit to me, but I'm curious as to why it's bullshit. was there a study done or something?
