Today, in a desperate attempt to add some variety to my life, I resorted to closing my eyes and picking a random font for my essay paper. FML

I don't think your teacher will appreciate that

Either you're on crack, or I'm reading German.

not sire if you got it and disliked or but this is what he's trying to say: the way I do it is misspell every word and see if spell check can guess them all.

closing your eyes to type wouldn't phonetically spell out words though...

#25 I'm quite proud I could actually understand that, being a non native English speaker and all. *pats herself on the back and goes bleach her eyes. Edit: this was supposed to be a response to #25, but ok, go wherever you want, comment.

Impressive. I'm a native English speaker, and I have no idea what was trying to be said.

If you understood #25. Could you translate it to me? Pleeeeease! :-P

It's a start. Now open your friend list on Facebook, and select a random person to ask out on a date. (Let's hope it's not one of your cousins.)

Be careful your teacher/professor accepts anything other than what he/she specifies! Or you will lose points...

Stick to Helvetica or Times New Roman.

No, Times New Roman or a similar serif font. It's been shown that it's easier to read long passages of text in a serif font. Sans serif fonts like Helvetica and Arial are better for signs, headlines and short blurbs.

I know what you mean. Most of my English professors though preferred Times New Roman. I told my college English professor that maybe more people would be interested in her class if they were allowed to write about what they want and use the font they want. Needless to say she didn't care for that and told me I was an idiot. Well to prove her wrong I tested out of her class with a 98%.

#58, your suggestion about allowing more freedom in choosing the subject matter as a way to boost interest is a reasonably clever one. I do have to agree with your teacher that your idea connecting interest to font choice is idiotic. Hey, at least you're batting .500 :)
