The shape I'm in: a report, so you don't have to ask

  • Sing: Can’t.
  • Pretty: Ain’t.
  • Legs: Thin.

On the other hand, if you ask, I will endeavor to give you a pleasing answer about yourself.

I’m kind of a rebel that way.

“Put only one space after punctuation. The typewriter convention of two spaces is for monospaced type only. When used with proportionally spaced type, extra spaces lead to what typographers call “rivers”—wide, meandering areas of white space up and down a page. Rivers interfere with the eyes’ movement from one word to the next.”

So the same thing should apply to Courier or Monaco. ;)

I’m not really sure what retired tennis players or small sovereign states have to do with this, but okay.

Clearly everyone is trying to put two Liechtensteins between themselves and Agassi this week.

(those are fixed-space fonts, :tal:, so, two spaces after the period, ha ha).
