Take me seriously.  I dare you.

   Believe me when I say that I am going to become the President of theUnited Statesin the future.   Trust me when I say I have already disproved Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.  But you won’t be able to. It’s not possible.

  Let’s rewind and start over.

   Now take me seriously.  I am going to be the 53rd President of theUnited States.  I have already made strides in the Physics field.  All of the sudden I sound much more believable, don’t I?

   The difference is not my uncanny ability to use the English language and be more specific. No. Nothing changed. Except the font.

 That’s all it takes to go from a liar to a confident individual.  Font choice is the end all and be all when composing anything typed.  But despite the thousands of font options on Microsoft Word, there are really only two choices: Comic Sans MS and everything else. And the number one rule regarding these two choices: Never choose Comic Sans MS. Ever.

  When picking Comic Sans MS as the font of choice (and I’m not sure why anyone would except to prove why it’s terrible like I did here), all attempts at being taken seriously are lost.  Those who read it will assume the piece of work was written by someone with only an elementary school education.  To put it simply, it does not matter if I rediscovered an extinct species.  I will not be considered a scientist of merit.

  The biggest problem with Comic Sans MS is that it tries to be thoughtful.  It’s not openly annoying like Chiller or as obnoxious as

Wide Latin.

It just looks so immature. It gives me a headache.  I’m not kidding.

  I never understood why teachers made a big deal about limiting the font choice of essays to just “Times New Roman” until recognizing the ridiculousness of Comic Sans MS.  Teachers cannot risk having that one student who turns in their paper using Comic Sans.  It would be too much to bear.

 It’s time to end the Comic Sans MS problem once and for all.  I propose a worldwide boycott.  It may sound extreme, but this font must be wiped off the face of the earth.  There is a proverb that says “one bad apple spoils the bunch.”  Let’s not let Comic Sans become that bad apple.
