Why are there green pacmen in the pond?

Almost not worth my response:

1. I didn't throw handicap out randomly; I called YOU one for a reason.
2. Aren't you like 13? What do you know about italics and bolds?  I've taken typography classes and very much so know what they do.

1) I didn't say you just randomly threw out handicap.  If you understood what I said, then you would see that I said "Don't use".  It can be very harmful to others.
2) No dipstuff, look at my profile.  And congrats bro, you wasted an entire semester on learning how to bold.  I figure that out in 10 minutes from reading an article for research for an English project in sixth grade.  Glad to see those wasted typing classes went to good use in your spelling, word choice, and sentence structure.

you started a stuffstorm with by saying "don't be an ass". He was saying meh because he did not think it was very good. Even if he didn't give any cc, he also didn't directly insult it.

Ok, now you are an ass.

My earlier post, forgettard, was a sarcastic, blunt affront, it did not mean harm.  Sorry if it hurt your feelings in any way, but do read more into posts in the future.

Hahaha

Hey, woh, don't go saying the R word, asstuff.  That is a medical term use to describe an unfortunate condition people have to live with for their entire life.  Be more sensible.

Let's see.  In my saying "You are an ass" then following with the same exact statement that I discerned as ass-ish.  Now why would I do that if it weren't for sarcastic reasons?  Adding italics or boldness does not identify sarcasm, it is only to show enunciations that may have gone unnoticed by the reader.

Hahahaha

My god child I know way more than just how to use bold.  I'm not even going to give you the pleasure of getting some examples.

That's because you don't have any.

And by pleasure, I assume you're imagining me jacking off to a horribly written amalgamation of stuff that you write.

'Meh' is a negative phrase, in this sense, because it carries an air of haughty arrogance.  I never said he was insulting the OP's work, only that he was a richard for giving a negative statement.

Besides--

Now, if you turn your attention back to my innocent first post,

Don't be an ass.

But ya, meh.

It lacks detail, looks more like you just built like you we're in a CRPG.

Where would there be a place for sarcastic bolding?

Now, I bid your ass a fond farewell as I am off on a long road trip and won't be around to receive your carping arrogance.

First of all, the bolded statement contradicts your little spiel and therefore you are a handicap + an idiot.  Second of all, since you asked for it:

72 points per inch
12 points per pica
6 picas per inch

Roman
Italic
Bold
Condensed
Strong
HEAVY
E x t e n d e d

Font = A typeface that only contains abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
typeface = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1234567890 <> ., ? : " ; ][ {} and etc.

CRAP principle:
cONTRAST
rEPETITION
aLIGNMENT
pROXIMITY

There are three major positions of text:
1. Align left, ragged right
2. Align right, ragged left
3. Justified, even rags

Leading: the space between lines
Kerning: the space between individual letters
Tracking: the generalized space between letters and words (you can use this to cheat on essays)

When using Microsoft Word or similar programs, don't always press the "I" button or "B" button to get italic or bold because it just distorts the roman version.  If you can, actually change the type (e.g. Arial -> Arial Bold)

Types of typefaces:

- Serif
-- Old Style
--- Dutch/ English old style
--- Aldine/ French old style
--- Venetian old style
-- Transitional
-- Modern (my personal favorite)

-Sans-serif (the popular Impact, yes the one that Rykuta always uses, is a sans-serif)
-- Humanist
-- Geometric

-Display/ Decorative

Dingbat: characters that are not type that are made to represent common things, or are used in code (e.g. an airplane dingbat would represent anything from flight to business)

Kinetic Typography: using type as a moving animation for dramatic effect.  I've created a few of these in my day and they are pretty awesome.

Helvetica is the internationally recognized presentation font, although I prefer Myriad Apple.

- = en dash
— = em dash
(used for different purposes)

That's off the top of my head

You just got a lesson on typography :)

That is the worst rule on this forum.  Why would you post something in gallery and not expect something to be said about it?
